MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Isn't it amazing how quickly the Holiday Season comes around?  Time seems to be on permanent warp speed!

I was blessed with a terrific present from Santa Claus this year:  A used 2006 VW New Beetle Convertible!  Salsa red with tan top and interior--perfect for my palate.  I have never owned a convertible in my life--I haven't even driven one, so it's about time!

Thanks Santa for finally giving me something I really wanted!  And I don't care if people mumble about me being too old to have a mid-life crises; as they say, it's not over until it's over.

To honor such a precious (for me) gift,  I put together the video below:

Wow - now that's a great gift! You should add some rose bowl logos while you have the chance... Wisconsin got lucky that Stanford is playing the Orange Bowl.

Cool - what a perfect car for you - hope you're not driving around in the rain today with that top down! Enjoy your new red machine :-)

No, STANFORD got lucky they're playing in the Orange Bowl! Too bad they're not in the Rose Bowl--it would be a blast to get together to watch the game. Either way, the Cardinal and White are going to come out victorious! Hol: The VWs today, even a five year old one, is like a spaceship compared to that orange one we had in Columbus!

I take it you like the Badgers!
Way cool Dad, we can't wait to see it. Are you going to let me drive it? Hmmm, I don't want to know the answer to that:-) Maybe I'll stop in SB to pick up a UCSB sticker to put on it!!!!
