Hey, look what Santa got me! Actually, I'm lying.  I got it for me.  Mrs. Bluesky decided that the only Xmas gift that made any sense was an iPod, as I'd been scanning eBay for weeks looking for one.  So she gave me the gift of letting me buy my very own iPod.  I know it's a little odd.  But we seem to do this with Christmas a lot - we pick out our gift, identify the store, and do everything but buy our own gift.  So this isn't a big stretch from our standard m.o.  Mrs. Bluesky, by the way, got a very lovely watch.  She is very pleased with it.  We'll be down in Oregon for Xmas, so this will be a very quiet blog until after Xmas.  I'm sure I'll have new political updates then, as the Washington governor's race will finally have a hand recount total.  An official count - even though Paul Berendt, head King County Dem, has already declared victory. While I'm gone, talk amongst yourselves.  Anyone else do a yankee swap for Christmas? Any cool presents I should know about?  Any tragic/comic iPod stories to share? Happy holidays, y'all.  7:40:48 AM     comment []
