so... early early [early] this morning, i got up to go out of county for court.

i had just enough time to ck on shipping for Shiner's xmas present.

[it hit mesquite tx last night]

so i travel to two diff counties, come home late,

box on pool table.

he holds out valiantly for several hours, and i finally get him to open said present.

he's been grinning now, officially, for two hours, and still goofing with said present.

so i think i did good.
