My niece took this picture at the family gathering this past weekend. Gus is looking good but getting a little more grey on his chin.
Compared to some others, this has been a nice Christmas. I've spent several Christmases working at empty weather stations. I scheduled myself long shifts on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to allow the others the time off.
This Christmas is certainly odd. It was hot today - upper 80's. I'm still running the air conditioning in my apartment even though it's almost 10PM. As I was walking to my car I was singing "Walking in a winter wonderland" and started laughing as I realized the absurdity.
Tomorrow I'm joining Ann and Mike and their friends for a day in Dubai. We're staying at a hotel and having a Christmas feast.
I'm not expecting any presents under the... umm... well, I don't have a tree. I doubt Santa could find me. Several have asked for my address. I haven't been blowing off the requests. I simply don't have one. I live in a brand new (crappy) building. They haven't decided what to call it yet.
I could give some suggestions.
Anyhow, Merry Christmas!
Steve
For Christmas Eve tonight we gave Gus a slice of summer sausage cut up very small pieces which he gobb led down quickly along with his dog food. We also gave Gus a squeezie toy for Christmas. He sends his Merry Christmas to you along with Dad and Mom. Love you, kiddo.
