Ok.  I am sitting here feeling very guilty that I haven't blogged in a while.  So, I thought a would write a little before I go to bed.  Things are going well here in sunny Tacoma (although it's raining as usual).  I just did all my Christmas shopping in one 2 hour trip tonight (relieved part).  It was awesome.  Those of you who know me, know that I don't like shopping.  But, regardless I am still fabulous at spending money.  Funny. 

I went to see Appocolypto last night with Ryan.  It was awesome!  For those of you who are into boycotting Mel, you might want to change your mind to see this flick.  It's a fine piece of directing.  Really graphic and not for mothers with small children, but amazing.

I am also really into John Mayer's new album.  For those of you who don't like him (ie. Ryan and Matt)  you will love this one.  Ryan and Matt have miraculously changed their minds as well.  I am listening to it a lot though -do any of you have any other great new CDs to suggest?

We are in the middle of our Celtic Yuletide tour of the NW.  It's going really well.  Hope you guys can still come to a show this weekend.  We had a fire alarm go off on opening night.  We lost 450 audience members in 2 minutes flat.  It was fabulous!!!  Matt and I were almost fined because we were jamming on the stage when the fire marshal arrived.  They were so grumpy. 

Ok.  I think I am going to bed now.  I hope that you are all gearing up for Christmas and Hanukkah and Christmakuch, etc.   I send you peace and love for a wonderful Holiday Season (sap galore!).

 Yours, CALI
