There is no place like home

Dorothy said

"There's no place like home",
but I'd bet if she thought about it

She would have realized
There's no place like OZ!

Its Christmas,
and it was a beautiful day here in Wexford, Pennsylvania. We could have been depressed, being thousands of miles away from our loved ones, but this holiday hasn't worked out like that at all. 
Its was a unique Christmas.
We ate some left overs from last nights BBQ, and went to Walgreen's a to buy one of those cheap massagers. We got a few text messages. We IMed a little. We even did a web cam.
We didn't open any gifts.
I want everyone to know, that was what we expected. These contracts have given us experiences that we would never have gotten if we spent Christmas in Las Vegas.
Life has provided the greatest gifts of all. We've seen this United States,
from San Diego to Seattle, from the Florida Keys, to Washington DC. We've traveled the country collecting memories that some may never acquire. 
This could have been my 30th Christmas in Las Vegas.
But this wasn't just another Christmas. This was an exceptional Christmas. Our memories are what we'll store
in the top of our closet this year and I'll share them with you on this web site as the years pass by.
To all of those at home,
We miss and love you very much !!!

From Far Far Away
