Designing Your Own Christmas

I’m back, at last, from my Great Holiday Tour 2008. This holiday season took me to:

  • The Sierras
  • Richmond, VA
  • Charleston, SC
  • SF, San Jose, Marin, various places in the area
  • Mendocino, CA
  • Corvallis, OR
  • Lincoln City, OR (generally, up and down the Oregon Coast)
  • Portland, OR

Things that I did differently this year:

  • Travel by train
  • No gifts
  • No Christmas tree

Also, my brother and sister-in-law visited from Tokyo. My dear friend Mong (holler!) visited from Lost Angeles with a ninja art mission that took us behind the scenes at White Walls Gallery here in SF.

EDW Lynch warns us that a Solstice Killer, known to authorities as �Lumber Jack�, has been murdering Christmas trees in San Francisco and then dumping their remains on sidewalks around the city. This sick individual first �decorates� his victims before killing them with a saw or asphyxiation by spray-on snow.
