I'm happy to see so many of you were amused by our new restriction of alcohol. No worries. Fortunately, neither Mike nor I are big drinkers. I usually have a bloody mary after kickboxing and that's it. I may, however, impede on our social time with Jim. He would always join us for a beer after kickboxing. We'll just have to tempt him with something else :)

We enjoyed a relaxing evening last night. We delivered a Christmas present to Maria since she leaves on R&R tonight and we bid adieu to Frank who went home for good last night. Mike borrowed Sin City from a friend so we watched that while shopping for Christmas presents for those at home.

I received two of Mike's Christmas presents in the mail today. It was cute watching him. He was like a little boy wanting to see what he got. I, of course, wouldn't let him have a peak and even locked him out of the room while I wrapped them up quick. He came in, shook them, and gave a guess as to what they might be. I guess we'll have to wait 11 more days to see if he was right!

I've been working to automate the SIGIR report all day. I actually feel like I've made pretty good progress. If we can get it done and have it web-based it'll be a great feat for our team. :)

Adieu!
