It has just passed midnight here, and is now Christmas day.
How is this for dedicated readership: The Laramie Tales website had 1100 hits today from 145 hosts. Now that - is impressive for a Christmas Eve.
I want you all to know that there may be more to this story than I had originally planned, but as promised, I am opening up the site to the public as promised, even though it is not yet complete.
I have already received three wonderful and unexpected gifts for Christmas, and expect I will be able to spend at least some of this week before I move on Saturday, completing an extended "Red Stallions for Christmas" story.
1) I got my new job offer - on Friday.
2) I got a personally autographed X-Men photo of Hugh courtesy of Scott6373
3) I managed to find a short term housing situation near to Saarbrücken which saves me having to stay in a hotel while I wait for my visa.
So I am very happy, and this has so far been a very precious Christmas! I hope all of you have at least as wonderful a holiday as I am, even though I am spending it cleaning my oven!
