Mom and dad are nice. For one thing, I survived my gag gift - I told dad, since he'd retired, that he was really a user now. And I gave him a box full of (literal) bells and whistles.
Hehehe. Also gave them kitten toys, and then some real gifts, including a fleece throw.
Gift exchange is fun. We got smoked salmon, and a book of bread machine recipes/tips/tricks. And I got a CD of the trees coming down around their house. Wow. Naked house! Eek.
Which brings me to more happy geek - I stuck the CD in my new laptop, and discovered that Windows XP discovers the CD has pictures, and offers to slideshow them. At full screen. It's actually a very good display: I like this feature. I may build CDs of images to a theme, to take advantage of it....
And mom and dad brought over a pasty, all ready to be cooked. It's almost done cooking now, and I am very much looking forward to it!
