Zoe was amped. The Dame had to use advanced child wrangling techniques. It is so amazing to me that this is Zoe’s first Christmas at home. I remember Skyping with the Catoes on Christmas Day in China, just after they had gotten Zoe. What a year for her, them, us.

Candlelight Christmas Eve service at Gadsden First United Methodist Church

One of my favorite services of the year. I don’t know what it is about the service, and especially the candle-lighting section of the service. I can’t help but be a little overwhelmed by . . . everything. As the light comes off the Christ candles and is passed through the congregation, you can’t help but feel . . . at peace.

This is what the bungalow kitchen looks like before paint but after I removed all of the doors and knobs from the cabinets. Let the painting begin!

So it turns out that a 2×12 is big hunk of lumber.
I suppose that’s the idea since the Kelsey 5×8 has roughly 98% of the density of a black hole.
Anyway we’re trying to get it mounted up so that is is easier to transport.

We had our Men of the Well Christmas dinner last night. Todd raised the bar to a whole new level. We finished the meal with a beautiful Creme Brûlée. Two thumbs up, only because I don’t have three.

Trying to get the Redline ready for Cross. Likely no cyclocross this season, but you can’t be ready too early. I’ve got the cockpit nailed down with Zipp Service Course SL stem, seat post and bars. Brakes on order at the shop, gruppo and wheels are a whole ‘nother ball of wax.

Despite the face that we had too much food, we had a great dinner.

L-R: Tuna Roll, Caterpillar Roll, California Roll and Double A roll.

We don’t go out to eat much, but I can’t ell you how happy I am to have a place like Asahi to go to in Gadsden.
