The presents are opened and pancakes are on the frying pan. Mom’s got 4 out of 5 kids home and a picture of Willie (the missing one) and Rachel that made her cry through her smiles. (It doesn’t take much!)

I gave the house a second iMac, and just got the router set up on this computer. My stepdad and I will make an extra CAT-5 cable after breakfast and get this suburban home network hopping.

Jeanhee’s got family in town and we have friends visiting, so the holiday festivities will continue for the next few days. As long as no other meals are as substantial as last night’s 5-course Italian Xmas Eve dinner, I think I’ll survive…
