Holiday Road: Victory

First off, hope everyone had a good Christmas Day. Whatever gift you were hoping for (be it money, a pony or 100% convincing that Obama is indeed our president) I hope you got it.

Just have to give some much-deserved props to the Campbell kids. Instead of guessing at presents this year, the three of us were much more focused, and tagged the best possible gift for our mother. We got her the Amazon Kindle, which is the new fancy wireless digital book reader. It's pretty darn cool and surprisingly easy to use, so even scary octogenarians can use it without fearing that its going to take over the planet.

Mom dug it immensely from the moment she opened it, which is always a satisfying feeling. Then she spent the next two hours ticking off all its minutiae of features, so we knew she liked it. Campbell Kids 1, Bad Gift Ideas 0.
