The very best wishes to everyone on this short and rather dark day of sun.
Light will grow again from this day on, up here in the northern half, and light will start to wane in the southern half.
Many important celebrations will occur over the next quarter, including New Year for most (of those without a wandering one).
No Mayan Calendar problems here... and the tech world also did not end due to the Year 2000 changeover
This year, for the 2nd in a row, we are not going to go through all the prep/cleanup work of a big dinner on the 25th... we are going to a restaurant for a nice buffet
Gift giving here is very subdued... since I already built my wife a new computer last month
Everyone enjoy the holiday season, and give your loved ones a hug&kiss for the new year
No need to look for broken pieces, at least for quite a while.

Well, fortunately, some of my investors had read of the "Mayan prophicies," and it seemed that the city of Sirince, Turkey might be spared the end of times. We invested in a Holiday Inn there, and charged a rate, similar to a Bourbon St. suite in New Orleans, for Mardi Gras. We made out like bandits!
Now, not sure how the Mayans knew of an, otherwise obscure town in Turkey, but they made us a fortune. We then sold the Holiday Inn to the Russians, who claimed that the Incas predicted the end of the world, except of Sirince, Turkey, on Dec. 21, 2013. I wish them the same luck, that we had...
Of course, if things DO end then, who cares, right?

It used to be the Photoshop Lounge. I have only visited it myself when someone has linked to a thread there.
so how's 2013 treating you so far?
Early day(s), but over here we miss the snow. It seems that all of it har fallen over there. We only had it for a week or two in early December.
It is far too warm, what would be suitable two months earlier or later. Hopefully a continuation of that is not the treat of 2013.
