Happy Holidays

So it's that time a year again, time to put up the decorations, have parties and all other sorts of fun things. We do a few things here. The first bit of Holiday cheer was the Mcmurdo Player's present "A Charlie Brown Christmas" That's right we staged our very own production of that great Charles Schultz classic with yours truly in the role of Snoopy. It went off great (that or people are really easily amused)

Now for the not so good news. This little tidbit of info makes me think of How the Grinch Stole Christmas......Someone absconded with our Christmas dinner. That's right some low down dirty thief skulked into the kitchen and made off with a couple cases of the Christmas prime rib. So it looks like turkey roll for everyone....yay. I mean really who steals a couple hundred pounds of beef? what will they do with it? This sounds like it could be made into a made for TV xmas special.

To end things on a positive note I went out to the pressure ridges today for a tour. This is where the glacier meets the sea ice. The collision causes huge ice upheavals that look like ice mountains. It's really quite beautiful. go take a look at the photobucket site.

Wow... that sucks! Ok...so my question is where the heck can you really go with a couple hundred pounds of prime rib that someone won't know about it?

Wow, amazing photos. I hope your Christmas was great and the New Years celebrations are splendid. And, yeah, isn't there a dog that can sniff out all that beef? Well, I guess preservation isn't an issue.
Take care.
