Follow Santa....NORAD Santa Tracker

For those gifts he delivers on Christmas Eve, some folks estimate that he has between 36-45 hours, considering time zones and International date lines sort of stuff. We know that he actually has Jean-Luc Picard's Maximum Warp engines on his sleigh and he can use if needed, a Time-turner (which he created) similar to the one Hermione Granger uses.

Also, Some places don't receive his gifts until January 6th, so he has time to get home, grab a glass of alka-seltzer, and pack a few extra carrots for the reindeer before heading off again.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

I am thankful for:
Foobar -- where all the feast is placed in the dining room
Software -- the stretchy pants we all need to wear today, often with Flex capabilities
Hardware -- used to eat items from the Foobar
Pi -- never ending yummy to finish off feast
Cloud -- fluffy stuff on top of my Pi
Java -- used to wash down all the Pi
Coldfusion -- leftovers eaten on Friday, usually with rapid deployment
Cookies -- small tidbits, good after turkey
Google -- The sound grandpa makes when eating 'Gobble'

And for Code Monkeys - my friends work hours for bananas for the opportunity to step up to the foobar for Google and Pi :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

I have planned unsuccessfully to get to CFUnited. But the for last 6+ years, other obligations have interfered for that week..... So, I get my oxes out of the ditch (which included a funeral, a few surgeries to repair cycling injuries, mom-in-law getting 2 hip replacements...you get the picture) to clear July-August 2011 to attend Next Year -- 2011...

(sigh) My friend Gene Godsey broke that news to me, no next year.... (sigh).

So Here's My VOTE: Have it somewhere, somehow, someway and Honey House Web Designs WILL be there! PLease, please (please)....

Updated: 12/28/2008: not the flu, pnuemonia. His Christmas has officially been labeled 'the pits' :(

Well, we shopped and wrapped. Baked and delivered. Prepared for the first family gift exchange.... all was good. Except.... one of the kids became especially surly when cleaning house in preparation for the party yesterday. A teenager grumpy on Christmas Eve? Go figure. Yep, within hours of the party, one of my boys came down with the flu. Fever, aches, headache. And Santa'S gifts of rifle, 4x4 Rukik's cube (he's a speed-cuber), CDs, etc. have gone almost untouched as he lays curled up on the couch.

Such a sad day to be sick :(.

Hope everyone else we know has a GREAT and HEALTHY season. No IMing zeBug (my son) so you don't catch his bug (wink).
