And here's a pic of my nephew and nieces - along with a glimpse of my parents' - well, my mom's Christmas tree:

The last thing I'll say about the roads, the snow in the ditches is even with the road, so you can't tell where the road ends and the ditches begin. It wasn't so bad during the day, but at night!

In town, they are not promising to make the residential streets passable until Monday! Good thing there were some private guys with blades to clear a path or I may not be home

You should! It's actually a "Low Occupancy" rate time of year for them, and you can usually get a nicely discounted rate on one of their truly wonderful rooms. OH! And the chef at their main restaurant specializes in vegetarian cuisine!

We saw one faboo, knockout house today. It's a short sale, incredibly gorgeous, big, with a to die for view of the valley west toward the coast range. I'm a bit concerned as it's on a steep hill and there were blueprints left on the kitchen island detailing erosion mitigation and a geotechnical assessment. But it sure was a beautiful house, fairly new (2004 I think) and with a really big "wow" factor.

Dude, just find you a plot somewhere, buy a double-wide and add on a big old screened-in porch.

And add a rocker where Jeff can play banjo!

Well... I was thinking of heading out somewhere for dinner, but I'm not really hungry. I was also thinking of seeing a movie tonight, but there's nothing I really want to see.

*Is it my imagination, or was there no real "end of the year Oscar-worthy" push of films this year? I mean, "It's Complicated" is the "must-see" holiday movie this year? Really?!?!?! Or did "Avatar" scare off some of the possible competition? Or is another "victim" of the economy?

Richmond is 90-120 minutes away from DC. It's about 95 miles from the D.C. Beltway. So, depending on traffic... There's actually some pretty decent vegetarian dining available in Richmond. It's all those "art majors" at VCU.

*And now that the smoking ban is in place, you can now eat meat-free and smoke-free at the same time in Richmond.

Oh, maybe DR Ron Pulliam could place his mother's Windstar and maybe even bk's current car in the backyard too.

I've accomplished a bit of work, played on Facebook, and I think I shall watch the George C Scott "Christmas Carol" for a bit. It's my memory that I liked this version so we'll see.

ron whay will your mother do with her windstar?

Sell it, more than likely. She's hinted she might keep it if she can't get a good price on it. I've spent the past half-hour looking up dealer listings for her make/model and the price ranges are all over the place....so she'll have to pick a price and see who bites.

In the front yard, you mean. And on blocks with the tires off.
