I haven't looked yet, so I don't know how bad it was. But I have to apologize
that Martha and I didn't get anything in this time. It wasn't for lack of
interest; we've just been extremely busy. For me the crowning blow was a photo
shoot at work on Monday (the biennial City Council inauguration) where I shot
almost 500 images. I'm still working my way through editing those. I can't do
a sloppy job, because the Councillors, most of whom brought along their kids
or grandkids (not to mention their wives, husbands, and other SOs), are
looking for good pictures to show around. Believe me, though, it beats the
alternative, where they're *not* interested in what I produce. ;^)

Bowser, are you sure you won't change your mind and stick with the SI a while
longer? I wish I could take it on, but I'm constrained by this silly tradition
that there are only 24 hours in a day.

Why aren't people's names on three of the phots?

I can't see the ones by unidentified shooters.

Yes, I did and it's posted. I'll be sending you some info for the
accounts today, as well.

Yeah, I was in a similar quandry -- I don't really have any "holiday
traditions". But true to form, I had a couple of offbeat ideas. Sure,
lights and what not are the official traditions, but the unofficial
traditions when my far-flung family gets together tend to involve lots
of bickering and strife. It's hard to capture that in an image.

The other idea I had was to get a pile of empty beer/wine/booze bottles
(and/or an overflowing ashtray) discarded in a passed-out-on-the-couch
sort of way. Alas, I wasn't able to accomplish either.
