I learned a new computer past time to spend even more time in front of the computer. Video chatting. Vinny guided me through the concept of how to get setup. I took a cheap little camera that Katie got for her birthday and hooked it into the computer. It is has a little solid state memory device built into it, but if you connect it to the computer with a USB cable it will act as a webcam. I manged to get that and Skype hooked up and we spent some quality time with my brother Karl and his family Christmas night. The next day Vinny felt real sorry for me and got me a real webcam. We got to call my sister Heidi and chat with her family the next day.
It was real fun.
If you've got 7 minutes to spare you may want to see the play that Katie put together with her cousins and Julie for Christmas. Katie came up with story, wrote up scripts for all the players and had rehearsals before the big night after Christmas dinner.

Here is a picture of the wine glasses I made for Theresa. They are made from Quina wood and then the goblets are attached. In the middle is a coffee mug I made for her birthday. It is made from 129 separate pieces of Pink Ivory wood.
We hope everyone had a great Christmas.

Clearly wood working is in the Koch genes. The wine glasses are beautiful. Are you going to try making a Koch recorder? I also enjoyed the Christmas play. It's nice so much of your family could get together for Christmas. Oh, I'm also impressed with the mug made of so many pieces of ivory.
The Pink Ivory is a type of wood. I don't want anyone thinking I was out hunting pink elephants. :-)
