I came across some .jpgs while trying to make some room on a drive. By my estimation this picture is 6 1/2 years old. See how young they all looked:

I’ll see what else I can find.

Christmas arrives Dec. 25th! (Mac version due in May)
Tuesday, December 25th, 2001 5:00 am EST

Christmas has arrived on time as it always has, and this December 25th is full of good wishes and holiday cheer for little girls and boys. Santa has brought his sleigh full of gifts for all the nice children and filled the air with that magical spirit.

A Mac version of Christmas has been announced and will be released in “Early 2002”, most likely in May. The Mac version will be exactly like the PC version in every way except that the Xmas Editor will not be ported, thus leaving Mac users unable to decorate their own tree (though in-game and third-party downloadable trees should work fine).

Mac users are still waiting for the Easter b1.13 patch which enables egg hunting and chocolate bunny sugar rush. The patch is expected out before Hallowe’en.

Well, this holiday I managed to screw up my sleep schedule. I thought I’d fixed it on the evening of the 25th. I got home at 9:15 pm from the party and crashed hard. I got up at 7am on Wednesday. Then last night I couldn’t sleep at al. So I bussed in and took some pictures along the way.

So here are some sunrise pictures over Santa Monica. Comments are appreciated on the quality of the pictures is greatly appreciated.

Why no X-mas post

Christmas weekend is always a trauma for me. Typically, the people I know all go to the far corners of the earth and revel in their holiday of choice. I get reports of holiday gatherings after the fact. Since I gave up on Chanukkah many years ago as a result of a laser show (more on that one in another post) I don’t get to excited.

Fortunately, I remembered to drink my homemande St. John’s Wort tea. (With other nummy ingrediants) And spent the holiday in good contact with two very wonderful people who wanted to make sure that I made some semblence of staying chipper.

Below then, the holiday report and results of the holidays….
Cut for the faint of heart…..
