I apologize to all... I have let you down. My family and I, (the four of us + the four of them,being the in-laws and their twins), just spent the closest family Christmas ever together! This wonderfully fulfilling (maybe not the best choice of words) was brought about by the introduction to the holiday, starting at approx 0300 on Christmas Eve morning, of the 24 hour
puke and poop flu, which lasted until very late into the day after Christmas, (which means closer to 36 horror filled hours by my watch.)
To add insult to injury, I purchased, for my lovely bride, for Christmas, a $1k, 10.2 Mp, High speed with multiple lenses, digital SLR camera. And yet! we was too exhuasted to get it out of the box to record the 8 person, two bath festival of fuluids for all to enjoy. We unwrapped that baby yesterday, and it is truly nice. (and has a curiously new smell to it!) If my memory is correct, there were some real show-stoppers that occurred in the waiting queue for the much used smalled rooms of my home, that should have been memorialized for all time, if not for content, then just for sheer overwhelming quantity. My bad, folks, I promise to do better next year...

Again, my deepest apologies...

I know i know
