The Christmas Journey Begins.
In just a few short hours, I'll embark on the 2009 Christmas Tour of California's Central Valley. But this year, as opposed to previous, I'll be enjoying this Tour by Amtrak and rides begged from relatives. So far everyone has been very accommodating (which is good, considering how much tire-wear and blood pressure I've invested in Christmas over the past 5 years). So, for everyone everywhere, MERRY CHRISTMAS! Enjoy this time as best pleases you and your family. It's never been about the Getting, it's the Giving.
