Finished the year with an 8 mile run down Banklick Rd and back. My usual neighborhood run; a fitting end to the year and a good place to begin 2008. Clocked the run on my IPOD+ from Nike. It actually works pretty well, surprisingly. It will be interesting to see how it works over the long hall.
Cooking a boneless pork loin as I type for New Year's Eve dinner. Linda and I are expecting Charie, Ciara, Matt and Aiden's already present and accounted for. Christmas was wonderful I had hoped to be able to post some pictures but Buzzy (Aiden) managed to erase the disk in the camera. I don't know how he did it but he loves gadgets and just went to town pushing the buttons!
Sunday evening we had dinner at the house. I fixed a standing rib roast with all the trimmings. Ian and Rieko came up from Arkansas, Colin and Melanie, Ciara, Matt and Aiden were here for the evening. We exchanged gifts after dinner. Monday we celebrated Christmas at my sister Susan's house in Park Hills. It was spectacular. Most of the family here in town were there. We wrapped things up with Christmas brunch after Mass and then a low key dinner at Matt and Ciara's house.
Work New Year's day, the first of a string of 6 work days in a row.

Christmas Tree Trimming with Aiden
Aiden visited with Grandma and Grandpa overnight. He woke up about 05:30. Waaaay too early! But after playing with his musical "turtle" for awhile he fell back to sleep and got up for good around 07:40. We made pancakes but picky eater wouldn't eat them opting for two bananas and some yogurt.
Morning weather was uninviting: heavily overcast, rainy but relatively warm. So, I went for a run. Surprisingly it was not too bad. I was wet but not cold and despite the wind I enjoyed it. Ran for about 90 minutes or so.
This afternoon Matt and Ciara came by to get Aiden but since they were all going to stay for dinner he decided to take a nap and spend the afternoon with us. While he slept we put up the Christmas tree and set up Aiden's train beneath it. Overall it was a great day.
