New Year's Eve

I spent the last week of 2010 proofreading Issue 4 of The Lineup, which is now ready for pre-order. I had planned to read one last book for the year, but have had a sore throat and back spasms since spending three hours Wednesday morning shoveling snow. Not that I'm moping about it. The shoveling had to be done, and while doing it I could forget about everything else. It's a good reminder that no matter how well thought out our plans, we should also embrace the unpredictable.

I've tried to look at this last week as early for next year, not late for this year. How am I spending New Year's Eve? I've never been one to stay up past midnight. Our family party is traditionally on New Year's Day, so I'll probably get some sleep.

Whadja get?

This year, my extended family decided we would each buy one Secret Santa present, but everyone would buy presents for the current generation of kids as well. We almost pulled it off. A few people labeled their Secret Santa presents like normal presents...

In the Secret Santa draw, I got my mother. She tries to deduce everyone's Secret Santa anyway, so I just told her, and she asked for Saint Peter: The Underestimated Apostle by Martin Hengel.

I was one of two people who didn't receive a Secret Santa present at first and was able to deduce that my Secret Santa was stuck in traffic. He eventually came through with a $50 Amazon gift card.

No bulky boxes. No clothing in the wrong size. Best Christmas ever.
