Well it’s Christmas Eve again. This one is a bit different for me. It’s my first away from my entire family. Not surprisingly it doesn’t feel very Christmasy. I didn’t think I would miss the church service and party at the neighbors but I guess I do. I will get to spend tomorrow with an “adoptive” family so to speak. I mean I plan to be there. The weather up here looks as if I may get snowed in. No matter, I have four wheel drive capability and I will spend Christmas with someone other than myself (Loki is already in the kennel).

Earlier tonight I was snapped out of a nap by a noise at the front door . By the time I figured out what was going on they had left. I did catch a glimpse of them as they left, they were dressed as Mr. and Mrs. Claus. I wonder what they wanted ;)

I figured I should write something tonight seeing as how I will be gone for a while starting Thursday. I have mixed feelings about this whole international travel thing. Everyone I talk to seems to think I should be really excited to go. To me it’s just a really long plane trip followed by jet lag :P I have a feeling I will be seeing more of my hotel than anything else. That and hospitals. Maybe some French nurse will take a liking to me and offer to show the city to me :) Yeah, I know, it’ll never happen. I gotta cut back on the cheesy movie intake. 10+ channels of HBO will do that to you.

Well, time to go. Gotta make sure I have everything ready for tomorrow and the following few weeks. I hope all of your Christmas wishes come true. I hope mine do….
