Here's why Steve is great:
Last night Steve's roomie Eric flew in to stay with us for a week.
Eric asked what I do for a living. I explained that I'm in marketing--newsletters, blogs, etc. And Steve told him he should go read my work blog, that its really good. I didn't even know he'd read it until last week. :-) It just made me feel good. He's awesome.

I know I haven't written for almost a full month... It's been busy! I still haven't gotten all my Christmas cards out, so some people will just be enjoying those as New Years cards. :-) Sorry!

Merry Christmas!
