Failure

Well, it is unlikely that there will be a matching 166th post in the blog this year. I'm back from the holidays in Maine and I'm doing a poor job of attempting to be productive on my few remaining days off. Tonight I did manage to exchange a shirt that I got for Xmas for a pair of new jeans. It was an even trade more or less... I only had to pay $1.84 in difference.

The holidays were good. I met my little cousin Justin, which is pretty much the first "baby" in my family that I've ever had contact with. Up until now, I was still the baby within the circle of relatives that I am close to. It was good to lose that title and Justin Ward brought a lot of joy to the holidays.

I have some house cleaning to attend to so I think I will bid the blog adieu.

Blog Entry

Yes indeed, another entry I shall write, because it is my destiny to do my best to match the 166 posts of last year. I don't care if there is absolutely nothing of value or substance for me to write about, I WILL put down my prose, I WILL write of the mundane, I WILL attempt to entertain? (Hey those last two rhyme!)

My evening prior to now:
Shopping, going to a liquor store to get beer (I had been looking forward to some quality drinking since a rather unpleasant commute home on public transit), getting lost in Peabody while looking for a store, realizing it is too late to have the pizza I had my heart set upon, settling on McDonald's because it is one of the few take out places still open, having my night cap, wrapping presents... and tah dah, here I am at last writing this Blog Entry.

Last weekend before the Holidays...

AND... I still haven't completed my Christmas Shopping. Whoopee!

I'm not looking forward to work particularly.

The weekend was good, I was snowed in, but other than that it was good. Kate and I put up my little tree and exchanged gifts. We had a Harrow's Chicken pot pie on Saturday night, and today we took advantage of the new Subway shop in the Richdale's convenience store next to my building. I need to wrap a couple of presents tonight to achieve my "daily accomplishment" so this is going to be short and sweet.

Enjoy your Monday.
