Well, as promised, I went swimming on Christmas Eve. Not for long, though. The water was about 40 degrees!

I've found a new favorite radio station: 103.9 The Edge. They have real DJs and no format. Now if only their signal reached Tulsa.

Now we're on our way to see The Polar Express. Let's see if it's any good.

Big family dinner tonight. Prime rib. Absolutely wonderful.

Yesterday was my pilgrimage, to Fry's electronics store. Today it's my wife's turn. We're going to IKEA.

On my way to Fry's for the first time. Send a search party if I'm not heard from.

We are arrived! Now we sleep 'til noon.

At Flagstaff, we're making the turn south toward Phoenix. Only a couple of hours left!

We've paused for a pit stop on the Continental Divide. Over 780 miles traveled so far, about 330 to go.

We're coming into Albuquerque. I would have posted earlier, but phone reception's been bad.

Now leaving Amarillo. Still a long way to go!

Now entering Texas. Yee-haw!

We're on the first leg of our road trip. Just passing Oklahoma City. Fun so far!

I've cleared off my desk and finished up some key projects at work, so I can go on vacation. Phoenix, here we come!
