    Hey all... I'm around and about.. going to have some dinner, then keep working on HUB stuff and catch up on echomail.

    Tuesday is coming to a close.. town is mad full of folks shopping for
    Christmas stuff... I stayed in the office today and worked though my lunch break. I really should get out and exercise and have not been doing as much
    as I should as of late. The weather is pants also so that does not help.

    Local media is full of stories about people killed in an eruption on White Island which is off the east coast of North Island of New Zealand... grim times..

    Tuesday is just starting here. We are inagurating a new governor today, so
    I am off of work as most of downtown is closed for parades and other debauchery. :) Yesterday, it was 60F at 9:30pm. Today's high already happened and we will be hovering around 32F/0C for the rest of the day.

    White Island which is off the east coast of North Island of New

    That made the news here also. I guess the eruption was not expected?

    Same here, lots of shoppers. This is time of season I hole up in my
    computer office until mid January. Even going to local grocery store is
    a pain. My daughter left me with the grand daughter and said I won't be
    long. She called me two hours later and said she was still in line and
    had been for the last hour. Me and my grand daughter had a great time,
    we both feel asleep watching a movie.

    Certainly more traffic at the mall these days, but they are all Christmas shoppers it seems. The supermarket was actually quiet this morning. Next shop is Christmas Eve, not looking forward to that one. :?

    The good thing is the one after that is a week into the new year, which means missing the worst of the post Christmas sales. :)

    Hi all

    Have been away at my wifes mum's funeral the last several days. Just back
    last night. It went OK but it's exhausting stuff (as some of you will likely know) what with the travel, meeting in-laws, we did a ton of physical tidy p stuff outside the deceased house etc. etc..

    I'll likely circle back to the BBS and network duties etc. in a few days
    time. Just resting up today and juggling a daughter who is off to a school
    camp tomorrow. I'm flying solo for a few weeks while my wife remains up north working on sorting estate affairs.

    Hope you're all doing OK and keeping well.

    Best, Paul
