Hello out there. I thought now would be a good time for an infrequent update for those of you out there that are reading. I hope this finds you all well and getting ready for any sort of holiday celebrations you might have planned. I think the thing I am most looking forward to is cooking for my family on Christmas day, that has been one of my great pleasures for many years. I love giving presents, getting presents is nice but as I get older I find I don't really need a lot more stuff and what I do need (or want) I mainly get for myself. It is lots of fun to shop for my nieces though, one is 4 and the other is almost 4 months. I got the oldest a rubber bow and arrow when she was two, she got a fishing pole for her birthday last year (which she loves, it has Disney Princesses on it, who wouldn't like it?) and this year they are getting a little hockey net and two sticks, not sure the youngest one is going to be real into that for a couple years but it should be fun when she does. My niece wants to go ice skating now so I might try and take her next week, I still remember the first time I was on skates, it was at my first hockey practice and I was wholly unprepared for that experience, to go from standing relatively comfortably to sliding across the ice in a terrifyingly uncontrolled manner was not the most fun I ever had on a Saturday morning. But the second time I was out there it was a whole lot easier. Hopefully my niece will have a good time with it when I take her.

Anyways, I hope you all are behaving out there. Any New Year's Resolutions anyone has come up with yet?
