I hope everyone had as great a Christmas as I did. I was able to see my family, Keri's family, and a bunch of my close high school friends. Even though I still live near my hometown, it's still tough to find the time to get together with everyone. One of my best friends was even able to make it home all the way from grad school in London. You can always tell a good friend when not only do they find time for you when home on vacation, but when a phone call goes like this:

Trevor: "Hey- can I come stay with you for a couple of days?" Me: "Sure, but I have to chop wood" Trevor: "Chop wood? Seriously? Sure."
