Merry Christmas

It is close to Christmas and we have made our way to the mecca of entertainment that is Vancouver, WA.

On a side note I have learned quite a few interesting facts about my immediate family that I wasn't aware of before this trip. Some are not proper to share and when you think about it will not be interesting to anyone but my very immediate family.

But on another note, we are watching the movie 'Ratatouille' on Blu-Ray DVD and let me tell you that the Blu-Ray technology is the bomb! And this show is all about cooking in Paris with a rat. Super cool, especially as Che Tobin is chef extraordinary! (OK, I try)

On another note as we are talking about Paris it turns out that my sister Natalie is that one person in the world that has been to the Louvre, but didn't see the Mona Lisa. Upon further review it turns out that she didn't miss the Mona Lisa because of some weird maintenance effort by the French, but because she was busy shopping in the Louvre's version of a French mini mall. As Natalie is an equal opportunity art disparage patron, she also missed the Venus de Milo.

The things you learn while hanging out with the family.
