Miracles do happen - my house is still standing after another McFamily gathering. lol! Fux sake, so many people up in here. It's overwhelming, but a blessing that I'm thankful for. Hope you all have a blessed day.

Merry Christmas, everyone! What cool music-related gifts did people here get?

I'll bet anyone that Joe is snowboarding !!

We had our McFamily gathering last night. My daughters are just now starting to wind down a little bit...lol !

Got a dinner to go to later this evening at a friends. I just know he's going to ply me with alcohol...better have my wonderful wife drive ;)

Merry Christmas to all the Christmasy people here...!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Hope everyone is doing well. I'll be celebrating with my family on Sunday because my sister, brother-in-law, and my nephew & niece are just getting over the flu. I just got off from work in the restaurant (Marriott). Unfortunately, I have to go back tonight to work a double, and be back (the day after) in the morning. Good grief, anywhere I work, the bosses and coworkers act like they are in desperate need of me. They should know better in not taking advantage of me.

Oh well, but at least these people won't interfere with my running schedules. I'm already getting races lined up for 2010. I have about a dozen races written down, and much more soon.

Well, time to rest a little and then it's back to work again.

McDave, my party here was actually last night also, but when I woke up this morning I felt like I was still "in it". lol! Today was the calm after the storm so to speak. Last night we had two 2 year olds, a 15 month old, and an 11 month old here that were giving about 25 adults a run for our money. Funny how some people forget they're parents of little ones when they get around family. They just assume somebody else is watching them. That's so not cool. Anyways, it was a good time had by all, and that's what matters.

LOVE YA JOE!

oooohhh my aching head, had a lovely long Xmas Day at our place that finished at 2 am this morning, Mr Skippy and I are just starting to mop the floors now and its 12pm lunchtime, the Boxing Day cricket is on, my head hurts, I look like crap but boy was it a great day. I beat the kids at World Cup Badminton so I am the reigning champ for 2009.

Hope you all had a great day (having?) .

Austin - I got Steve Vai's DVD and Them Crooked Vultures

edit...also caught up with my bro-in-law the flamenco guitarist and he gave me a lesson, he's a cool guy. I showed him the tab for Turkey Man, he played it once slowly then just played it straight up without looking at the tab again - FFS!! Amazing. Then he says "well you just have to know the pattern in the first 2 measure and repeat" - I had no idea and I was only up to about the 5th note after several weeks.

We had a laugh at the new Line 6 amp - he got me to play Smoke On the Water (badly, slowly) and as I'm doing that he starts playing the bass line on his guitar which was fun ! It helps when you have a pro!

SNL Christmas Special is on :-)
