HotShot Blog

It's been a couple of weeks since I last blogged. I was busy frantically finishing up schoolwork for a while, and then Tracy and I went to Killington to ski. The slopes were great, as long as you didn't freeze to death going up the lift. It was 5 degrees on one of the days we were there. We had to keep going in the lodge every 2 hours.

Anyways, now that I'm back, I hope everyone had a merry Christmas (and happy Hannukah for my Jewish friends). I had a good time. A large chunk of my extended family came over to our house for Mom's oven baked chicken, fried fish, and biryani. Tracy stayed through Christmas as well, which was very much appreciated. She even got to play Monopoly Junior with my 6 year old cousin Deepa.

My best present this year was a new Skagen watch, given to me by Tracy. It's a great titanium analog watch with a date display. The only problem is it ticks too loudly. I can't sleep in a room with a ticking clock, so I have to hide it in a drawer at night.

I'd like to know what other people got. Post your best presents in the comments.
