Life sure is good these days

I hope you like the photo. I took the picture from the parking lot at work where we can see the old Sudbury water tower, which has been converted to a light beacon in the heart of the city.

So it was a super relaxing Christmas break for a couple of days. Jennifer and Scott of course were the perfect hosts. When I say relaxing, I should mention that I parked myself on the couch Christmas Eve, watched a nice movie -- Home Alone -- drank whisky and fell asleep, sitting on the couch. Embarassing! I slept on a cot in the rec room, which was perfect. It was so quiet. Christmas morning was nice. There was no pitter, patter of little feet. It was thump, thump, thump as I could hear Ace running around all excited because Santa had visited. I was pleased to get a great new sweater from Santa. It's all black and made of lambswool. I could tell is was wool right away. So I know I will enjoy it. I just have to remember to wash it properly. The nice thing about a wool sweather like that is I can wear it with jeans or with a suit; either way it will look great. Christmas dinner was with the Alexanders as Don, Denise and Christine were amazing hosts. As usual, the meal was outstanding. I managed to get a messy nosebleed but it stopped quickly enough. Embarassing. All in all, another perfect Northern Ontario Christmas. I am spoiled. Life is good.
