Wow!!  Thanks for the update Paul.

Probably 3 time a day.  Did not visit much during Christmas week,  Usually at work and just drop by to see if there is anything interesting going on.

I use fast travel - but only if I have a bunch of stuff and need to get rid of it and back into playing a quest.  I find that just traveling around Skyrim and looking at all the wonderful detail is breath taking.  Also, it can lead to some very interesting battles with unexpected "things". 

Interesting question.  I have a man cave located in an upstairs bedroom where I have all my "toys".  You know, PS3, large flat screen tv with surround sound, and also a set of wireless headphones - wife does not like to hear "games" or sports while she is downstairs.  Anyway, she usually is playing on her computer with facebook or surfing the web.  I usually just go upstairs for about 2 hours and after supper and chill out.  She does say  at times "so you're going upstairs to play your game".  The good news is - both of my son-in-laws play Skyrim and we have a great time discussing how each is playing the game.  Merry Christmas all!!!!

Doing some side quests.  Improving several of my skills (ie smithing, one handed, and light armour).  Just enjoying the vast areas of Skyrim in general.  If I kill a dragon, so be it.  Seems everytime I go to Dawnstar I get involved with a dragon. And when I am not playing Skyrim, I am improving my pistol marksmanship.
