First off, I want all the techno nerds out there to lighten up about the millennium not starting until 2001 crap. You know what they did to all the people who brought that up in the year 1000? Burned 'em at the stake, that's what. That said, Beth and I closed out the 1900's last night at her sister Pam's, capping off a very nice holiday season. Been a while since the last update, so I'll regress. Thanksgiving was at my sister Laura's, in centrally-located Oklahoma. My parents, Laura, and Beth and I had Thanksgiving together for the first time in years. We all had a good time together and had the Knight family Christmas then, since Beth and I wouldn't be there in December. Pictures are on the holiday page. Since we had Thanksgiving with my family, we had Christmas with Beth's family in Michigan. My mom found great airline tickets, GO MOM! We flew up on Christmas and back today. In the meantime we ran around seeing everybody. Ric and Nickie are doing well, Ryan is now 16 months and Beth wants one just like him. Ted and Jeanne have bought and are restoring another house, their first one is getting done and is gorgeous. Stephanie and John (the other John) will be married in July. Pam and Marve likewise are doing well and keeping busy. Mom G is doing great. We all had Christmas on the 26th at Ted's, pictures are on the holiday page. We caught up with some friends, including Ang who had a kid on the 27th, Todd & Carla who were childless when we last saw them and now have a 3rd coming to complement the 5 and 3 year olds, Sherri & Russ who just added #3 last month or so, and Mikey, who has no kids. In short, family is well, friends are well, and I'm not ready to go back to work yet. Oh well, I have until Tuesday to get ready again.

This gets its own line. Michigan State 37, Florida 34. Nick who?
