Your handwriting. The way you walk. Which china pattern you choose. It's all giving you away. Everything you do shows your hand. Everything is a self-portrait. Everything is a diary.

What's the only place nicer than L.A. in January?

Hawaii. And that's where we will be come the third week of the new year. Because of savvy departure times, Milo qualifying as an infant for free travel by less than a month, and frequent flyer miles our flights are very inexpensive which is nice since Carrie might go on strike next year. Yikes! More on that later. Needless to say we are all very excited for the trip. Indianapolis, L.A. and Kona all in the span of three weeks. It will be like a whirlwind geographical biography.

This week's poll on best way to Christmas shop has closed in a dead heat with "Online" and "Slowly" both finishing in first with three votes. "Black Friday" finished second with two votes and "Months in Advance" and "Dec. 23rd" both finished with one. I myself am a slow shopper picking up gifts here and there in my typical relaxed, procrastinating style. My wife however is one of the lunatics who voted for Black Friday. Dig the new poll.

I'm so happy for you. Kona Gramps will be surprised to see how big and smart Milo has gotten and those Aunties will want to kiss his cheeks off. I hope the weather is beautiful and you all have a bunch of island fun. LYFE Milo's Nonna

KHM, yeah. We only had a couple of weekends to choose from because of Carrie's work.
