Yep family is the best! My wife unfortunately was away with her family in southern california, as I had to work Christmas eve and day, only to be called off due to no patients in our department! Sucks to not be able to gather with family this time of year! I did get to do a day trip to Mendocino Nt. Forest for some quail hunting with a few friends, but would of loved a big Christmas feast dinner with Prime Rib, and yorkshire pudding, at the inlaws! If they lived a little closer say 500 miles closer, I would of driven down once I was called off yesterday afternoon, but it's an 8-9 hour drive from here, so the doggies and I had our own quiet celebration, watching a few movies including part of the John Wayne marathon on tv, and parts of the raiders of the lost arc series! Not too bad!
