Christmas of 2004
Another Christmas has now passed. I am back to work as of today, though still taking the time to play with my new toy. 
Jessie got me a Palm Tungsten T5 PDA for Christmas. It is amazing how far these things have advanced since my last unit (a Palm IIIc). This device has 25 times as much storage, over 10 times the processing power, and a pile of other enhancements. I just finished configuring its Bluetooth capabilities for wireless hotsyncing and internet connectivity before I began writing this.
As for my own shopping, I got Jessie a nice white gold diamond necklace. Picked out all sorts of other things for the rest of my family, including a dinner out at the Red Lobster for my Mom and Rene.
I would say overall everyone had a pretty awesome Christmas this year.
