With his long, white, and very real beard, my Dad looks like Santa.  It's great, whenever I'm in a big store or crowded place with him all I have to do is ask people if they've seen a guy that looks like Old Saint Nick and they know exactly who I'm talking about.  A few years ago he started playing Santa for kid's Christmas parties and has a ball with it.  It turns out that he was booked to do a party next Saturday (launch day) that had been forgotten until today.  He and my mom are my ride to the put in (and my support crew for the following week) so with this turn of events we've been forced to move the start date out one day to Sunday December 6th.

If you're planning on coming for the start of the trip let me know so I can get you specifics of the start time and location as they get sorted out.
