Thanksgiving in Rolla

This year it worked out that I didn’t have to work on Thanksgiving. So we headed to down for a two-day celebration at my brother Justin’s. My youngest brother Jon still had to work Thanksgiving, but he and his wife Brittney were able to join us Thursday evening.

It was fun to have everyone together. The kids had lots of fun playing, we busted out the Jaguar for an NBA Jam tournament, we ate a lovely meal, we watched the Cowboys pull off a win, and we all got home safely again.

I’m thankful for such a nice Thanksgiving.

I didn’t photograph exhaustively, but here’s a slideshow of a few fun moments:

The best Christmas present of all time

!http://breakintochat.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/christmas-1993-jaguar.jpg!

Two things came up recently which spurred me to write a blog post one year sooner than I originally planned.

The first thing is that I created a new website called “Break Into Chat”:http://breakintochat.com/, which hosts a wiki about the history of old BBS door games as well a blog about retro computing topics. You can visit the website to learn more about the reasons why I created it.

The second thing is that my mom has been scanning truckloads of photos from Christmases past, then sharing them on Facebook.

These two seemingly unrelated threads converge in 1993, the year my parents surprised me and my brothers with “the greatest Christmas present ever: The Atari Jaguar.”:http://breakintochat.com/blog/2012/12/17/1993-christmas-we-got-atari-jaguar/

Please take a minute to click the link above and relive the memory with me!
