about 4 hours from now Kara and I are off to spend Christmas with her mother. Christmas with my Mother-in-law... my first.

For any of you thinking to yourself that Christmas with the Mother-in-Law has got to suck, and you're feeling bad for me, you've obviously never met my Mother-in-Law.

She's a fun fun lady, and a "good head".  And other than the initial "she's your girlfriend's Mother" you have to not like each other schtick, I've really liked her from the start.

So for the next 12 days or so I'm going to be celebrating Christmas and New Years with  my Mother-in-Law, her boyfriend Don, and of course Mrs. It gets even better... really. M-i-L is an officer in the USN. Stationed at Pearl Harbor.


So before you feel too bad, check the weather first. :-)
