a lesson

If you're hoping to be functional at all in the evening hours, try not to imbibe two mai tais and a zombie at Smuggler's Cove.

If you only knew how many tries it took me to get the HTML correct for the link... oh god...

The drinks there are not for the meek or the weak.

I'm drinking water for the next few hours. Gah.

Yawn - scratch

Not a terribly productive day.

I managed to rendezvous with UPS, which is a plus. My dinner plans fell through due to an oversight on my part. Thankfully it turned out for the best when the miserable weather hit.

There's no shortage of movies I could go see, if I could rouse myself. I'm not so interested in Avatar or Sherlock Holmes to want to make my way to a theater, though.

Too lazy. And that's okay.

A pleasant way to fill the day

One of my favorite winter pastimes:

- a grey winter day
- a pub
- a couple of pints
- a hot bowl of stew or chili
- conversation with resident barflies

List fully-checked. Good times.

Merry Xmas

Mine was pretty fantastic. A wonderful exchange of gifts and some really nice time with the family.

I count myself very fortunate when I can spend 12 hours with my family and I pretty much enjoy the entire time.

Corny or not, that's probably the best gift of all.

And yes, that's very corny.

Xmas Miracle

I was home for a UPS delivery! 'Tis a miracle! A miracle!!!

Still fighting this damn cold-like-thing. Ah well. Could be worse.

Unwelcome Xmas Gift

Headache? Check.
Intermittent nausea? Check.
Scratchy throat? Check.
Episodes of extreme exhaustion? Check.

What. The. Hell?

I think this hit me last year as well.

Bleah.

Brilliant invention

Awesome keyboard.
