I’m going to run a little past my original target dates for this next segment, but it can’t be avoided. PS: Grandfather’s Vigil continues from the events of the Christmas Party.

Happy New Year!

Christmas Party, Day 5

Day 5, the ending to our little interlude with the Evanson family, has arrived.

Hope everyone had a nice holiday. Mine was spent making nearly 4 gallons of wonderful soup, then only having half of the expected level of attendance. Anyone want a quart or eight of knephla soup? I daresay it’s almost better than Kroll’s.

Fiction Friday, Holiday Installment!

Managed to get Christmas Party: Day 4 finished up. Well.. Day 4, part 1. Part 2 I’ll probably just roll into day 5.

This is why it’s a bad idea to give your kids pellet guns for gifts. They’ll want to try them out.

Fiction Friday: Fission

For those of you celebrating it, Merry Christmas.

For those of you not… Here’s a present, anyway. TF: Fission has arrived.

Yes, I realize it’s not the expected next bit of Christmas Party. Soooooon.

I’ve really been enjoying my new camera. I picked up a Canon Digital Rebel XSi a couple of weeks ago - and while the name’s a little weird compared to what they slapped on the sticker in Europe (EOS 450D sounds more pro, in my opinion) it takes some great pictures and I’m having a lot of fun with it. I should probably pick up a couple of lenses in the coming year, if I find a bag of money on the side of the road… The kit lens that came with it (18-55mm) isn’t bad, though. I’d like a little more telephoto range, and a wide-angle macro lens would be awesome.

Most of the pictures currently on Metigoshe.US were taken with my old Kodak Z812 IS, but a few up there now are from the new camera.

I’m going to get a few parts of a little story about Tari and Len’s first Christmas together up this week. I’ll probably just edit this frontpage item and add in each link as they go up.

Christmas Party: Day 1 (12/22). Day 2 (12/23). Day 3 (12/24). Day 4 (12/25). Day 5 (12/25 and 26).

The end!
