Well, after a fun morning of watching all the kids open their gifts, I got to open mine. I got the fancy boxed Calvin and Hobbes set to go along with my ultimate boxed Far Side set, so I'm happy, and I got some yummy chocolates. Then I spent the better part of the afternoon helping J*stin construct a ping pong table. We were originally planning on putting it in the upstairs game room, but when I got it out of the box and truly appreciated the size, I knew it was going to have to go in the garage. I played a lot of ping pong in my youth. When I was a teenager, we had a ping pong table in the house, and I would invite friends over for all-night round-robin tournaments, and I played a lot at the nearby university union building with my friend Scott when I was in high school.
The kids do not have the benefit of my experience, so right now, I'm waxing the floor with 'em. And I haven't even regained the ability to reliably put any spin on the ball yet. I'm sure they'll catch up.
