Well, my throat is no longer numb. Not as good as you might think, as it now definitely feels flayed. Like, Uber-ouch, Scooby!

Today we are wrapping Christmas presents for our impending trip to Va - there are a lot to wrap, and I have to get downstairs and help Patty.

Hopefully I'll have some time to play Mechwarrior today, so far I am enjoying it, even though some of the game play aspects are not at all changed from the previous version - at least it installed without a hitch and so far plays stably!
