Thank you Bob. Merry christmas to you to. I did go out today and buy myself a nice tool chest to start organizing everything in so I did get one present 
I like the pic. You could try taking it on a tripod with a SLOW shutter speed and it might turn out better.

Just an easy excuse when people start pestering you about the holidays and why you are not celebrating. I started celebrating about 3 hours ago with some 42 year old single malt scotch
It's got me in the 'Spirit'

VISIT! Heck, they need any "English only" speaking pharmacists over there Dean.
I might have to brush up on my herbs & spices.

I believe that X-mas is about giving. Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas, who was known for giving everything he had, and everything he could get his hands on to the less fortunate.
I also do not like how the commercialization/marketing has done with X-mas, and I have been a victom of this most of my life. It is only lately that I have started to really understand. I will quit there b/c I do not want to offend anyone. I just hate how the big companies have exploited this great tradition. Something I try to remind myself that should be done everyday, and of course I don't b/c I am selfish.
OK off my soap box.

For everyone else I hope you enjoy doing whatever you want to do this weekend.
