On this celebration of winter & Yule & commercialization of organized religion, this is what we did…

Exchanged gifts:  I got three superhero themed garments, a leather note card thingie that I have been wanting, some high-end male hygiene products and a copy of the Absolute Kingdom Come.  A pretty decent hauls of goodies I must say.

To spead a little bit of good karma for the holiday we went out to dinner and decided to pick a random stranger and pay for their meal.  When a gentleman walked in dressed as an everyday Elvis (the hairdo, glasses, cowboy boots, and tailored 70s cowboy suit) we knew we had a sufficiently random individual that deserved some good karma for bringing an extra bit of cool to the world.

We got some coffee and drove around a bit and saw a guy on a jet-ski cruising the Detroit river.  A little nuts in our opinion, but he appeared to be enjoying himself.  If he wants to flirt with hypothermia that is entirely his affair.

We went walking/jogging in the rain.  One of those occasions that makes you feel good about having exercised, but also feels even better to curl up under a fleece blanket afterward.

A pretty good day.  A good memory day for years down the road.
