'Tis the Season
Five more shopping days. I need a total of zero. It seems that almost everyone in my life is more well-heeled than me, so you all get my best wishes. The last present I bought (for a birthday) was dumb and useless, and I'm embarrassed when I think about it. This Christmas will be quiet. I don't appear to have anyone else's gatherings to attend. I'm not crazy about being one of those stray dogs that people let in the house once or twice a year (a position I've been in rather frequently). I'm sure Christmas Day will revolve around a crossword puzzle or two.

My big present this year was receiving the PDFs for my Robot Zoo book series. They look great, and I can't wait to see some of the animation. I only have one more story to write, and then hopefully I can rest up for the new year and see what comes down the pike.

So Best Wishes to You and Yours this Holiday Season. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Enjoy Boxing Day, and Happy Kwanzaa.
