Well, christmas is around the corner and I cannot believe it has arrived. Its a nice feeling to see snowing on the ground, the crisp cold air, and being around loved ones. Though I will have to say its kinda wierd not being able to see my parents and sis and brother for either Thanksgiving or for Christmas this year.
Sending them a care package on Monday Dec 23rd and hopefully will be able to get out to them soon, rather than later (like sometime before spring time) as we all know how the USPS works. =)

Well, this might be last entry before Christmas itself, but it wont be the last of 2002 for sure. I hope all have a wonderful Christmas Holiday and hope Santa brought everybody what they hoped and dreamed this year. ;-)

…more to come soon…

Merry Christmas everyone!

Wow, I cannot believe that 2002 is almost over with. It is amazing what a year it has been. Work was unbelievably challenging, but rewarding to the last. I am glad and thankful that I have a pretty good solid job still, and getting promoted at the same time. Looking forward to the challenges ahead for 2003. Getting the apartment some furniture finally was a small task, and hopefully before the end of Jan 2003, we will have the Jacuzzi in. Nice long hot bubble baths await.. =) Its just a nice thing to come home to see something than nothing in the living room. ;)

So lets see here, finally got my ftp server up and running (somewhat half assed) but non-the-less, up and running. at least now Cris and I can swap our songs we make much easier now rather than burning a cd and sending via the postal service.

Ok, Today is December 15th, so that makes it 9 MORE DAYS until Father Christmas comes from Northern Lapland to visit ME of course first, then to everybody else. So get your comments in quick as to what you want for Christmas and I will pass a good word along to him before he leave here in Finland to visit all of you in your homes. ;)

On other news here in Helsinki:
It has been below 0*c for the past week now, and most of the harbour and portions of the sea have now been frozen enough to not allow boats in. Which means the ICE Breakers have now come in to break up the ice. Winter tends to be boring and dark, so any little excitement or noise is always entertaining. =)

This will make your california blood curddle when you hear how much Hanna and I pay for power for the entire year 2002.

We pay our electricity bill in quarterly statements and ytd 2002 the total bill was 200.02€ . So that works out to little less than 50.001€ per three months.

Doesn’t that make you all sick to your stomachs. So moving to Finland is starting to sound a bit better, and oh ya, the heating for our apartment…FREE. we do not pay for heating as the power plants that are giving us the cheap electricity is using the by product steam and hot water to heat the sewers so they do not freeze and the heat is transported to the main homes / apartment complexes to heat us up. =)

Well, just thought I would pass this along.
