The first holiday season since the big engagement and we've had to decide where to be. Since my brother and his wife were coming to San Diego for Christmas, R3 and I thought it would be best to also be in San Diego for Christmas. So we did Thanksgiving in Ceres and had an early Christmas at her parents' last weekend. In addition to her new PowerBook G4, they gave us a spiffy MiniDV video camera. Quite generous of them, and we're very excited. Monday was also my birthday, and R3 bought me a new desk/office chair...and you can see where this is going. It's like something out a Visa commercial:

One video camera: $400
One desk chair in need of assembly: $100
A silly movie (9.8 MB) of Pete building his chair: Priceless
