The National Christmas Tree
I'm in Washington DC this week getting ready to take a road trip down to Pensacola. It was H-O-T today. Those public water fountains that I usually steer clear of...were pretty refreshing today.

Got A New Christmas Annalee!
Jim and Cathy got us a new Christmas Annalee last month!
It's a set of gingerbread bakers on a baking sheet. These guys will be a great addition to the gingerbread scene that I think might be moved to the kitchen this year.

Bittersweet News: More lights for 2008
So, it's actually great news...we just got two additional controllers for the 08 season.
2007 season (above): 64 channels on 4 controllers
This year, we'll have 96 channels, which means I have to redo all the musical sequences which I programmed for 64 channels. Since each song took forever to program, I am hoping to begin this year's sequencing this month. I'm also hoping it goes a bit faster this year thanks to software upgrades and a year's worth of experience under my belt.
Oh yeah...John's not getting out of programming this year either. And my brother Joey, the Lead Engineering Elf (as his t-shirt says) will be doing his programming from the South Pole in Antartica. The good news is that he'll be able to provide real-time updates from the South Pole on Christmas morning.
