Yesterday was a fun day. We've been hanging out with Ricky, our webdev guru, and our second restaurant visit on Dine About Town was awesome. The view of the Pacific Ocean was nice, and the sea was a little less rough than we had hoped, but spectacular nonetheless.
While holding our fat bellies of food, we watched some old episodes of Top Gear, QI, and got caught up on a few weeks worth of The Event.
Later today, we are dropping Ricky off at the airport, but not before we stop at In & Out for an early lunch, animal style!

We had a wonderful Christmas with no snow but plenty of food and presents. We had an awesome BBQ on Christmas eve and stuffed ourselves with turkey on Xmas day. I'm quite sure that my recent two-pound weight loss has been magically transformed in a five-pound gain. Weird how those things happen.
Later today, we are going out for some post-Christmas shopping, maybe grab a movie and then drive back to the in-laws place. In a few days, we are flying back home, and we can start thinking about what to do for the New Year holiday.
