Ah, the holidays

I took this photo at the Mayaguez Resort and Casino in Puerto Rico. I call it “Security Tree.”

My house is quiet, for the moment. In about an hour, 11 adults and four children will be here. The beef bourgignon is slow cooking in the oven. I’m praying the the meat isn’t going to be tough and stringy. I do have lots of salad and bread, so if the bourgignon sucks, at least my guests will have SOMETHING to eat. I also have lots of libations, including the yummy Cold Mountain Ale. Which, I think, I am going to have with my shower right now. Nothing beats a steamy shower with a cold beer–well, a steamy shower with a soapy, well-built man, perhaps. But, today, the beer will have to do. After today, all I have to do is show up, at my in-laws, a few times. I’m not traveling or entertaining or gift wrapping. I’ll be able to exercise and hang with the kids, and, maybe, read some. That will be a delight. I can’t wait until tomorrow.

Merry, happy Christmas to you and yours if you’re celebrating. If not, happy day off!

    Whoa. That is a rather interesting alternative to the ’star on top’… o_O?
