It's over. I blinked and it was gone. The holidays always seem to be so quick. It must be all the anticipation. So much to say, so little time while I am stuck on dial-up. Yes, I know that I am a high speed snob. I actually tried connecting to the internet by placing the phone cord in the ethernet port on my laptop. It took me a while to figure out why it didn't work.


Christmas was good, but now I am stuck in the after math. I have a thousand some odd people to visit and only a couple of days to do it.


Are your grand-parents still around. If so you should go visit them and talk to them. They have so much to say. My Oma and Opa (because i have a dutch background) recieved a mini-disc system to attach to some paradigm speakers (the best speakers ever, yes I am bias I am related to the owners) to. I was rewarded the honour of bringing it over and showing them how to use and install it. Not an easy feat for 80+ but I did it, afterwards we chatted. They had so much to say about their lives and choices and the war. It's really amazing what it takes to get you to where you are today. Go talk to you grand-parents, you'll be glad you did.
