time is booked off; skis are always sitting by the door; all my family know to expect me NOT; car has been winterized and Gangster#1 (my puss) has a place to rest his old bones, for the time.

Yup, I am ready, to pass on th@ time of year. Best part is people like to stay at home during the festive time, so we (me & my tele crew) get the hills are to ourselves!

I purchased a schwack of gift cards and will be mailing them out next week, or so. My moms, my sis & I will do it up after.
