TSO

That is short for the Trans Siberian Orchestra for those of you who are not in the know. So now you know and knowing is half the battle; I think the other half is winning but don’t know what we are fighting for so I am politely moving on.

Two weeks ago Heidi and I went to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra with her folks at the AAC and had a great time. I have never seen them in concert but heard, just like everyone else, their songs being played especially around Christmas. If you get the chance to go see them live I would highly recommend it as well as I would recommend that you read what my mother-in-law wrote about the concert (she uses them words more better than me). Enjoy and then go book tickets to see TSO and hopefully you will hear their "Christmas Eve" story.

Lamb Christmas

This past weekend we went down to Round Top for Christmas with Mom’s side of the family. We always do it early in December since it eliminates the Christmas Day conflicts with other family commitments. For the past couple of years we have had almost everyone show up and always have a great time. We eat, visit, have a White Elephant gift exchange, and play games including the a nice 9 hole round “top” of golf. We forgot the camera so pictures will have to wait until someone else shares and then I can get them posted. The White Elephant is always a fun time and I think that this year was one of the most competitive and scheming White Elephants in a long time. Good gifts always lead to interesting strategies. Heidi and I came away with an electric skillet and a travel wine box, we are excited to put both to good use. Well that is all I have for the Lamb Christmas – until next year.
