The Holidaze Are Coming

The holidays are nearly upon me and I find myself wondering how badly I'll miss home, friends, parents, sisters, and all the things back home.

I want to hug Clay, Jon, Xena... and maybe even Chuck. I miss them, and they are as much a part of my home as the wood, tiles, and plaster that makes up my house.

The reality is, based on timing and available money, that I may stay in Europe for the holidays. Of course, my bestest Rainer has invited me to Malta for the holidays - and that really does sound ok this year.
