I know, I know. I haven't been around in a while. I was out of town. I came back. I was out of town again. I got back and our internet service wasn't working. In the times when I was here and did have service, I couldn't busy dealing with preparing for and recovering from the repeated road trips. Besides, I couldn't think of anything interesting to say. Some highlights of the time I was away:
- Took two road trips in our new car: (Have I shown you a picture of our car? I haven't, have I? I'll have to find one and post it.) One trip was long, but not awful, the other was way too long (we're talking distance driven, here, not length of time we stayed anywhere.) After a drive down to Alabama and back and then a drive to Wisconsin and back, our car which had 3 miles on it when we got it a month ago now has about 2800 miles on it.
- Got to visit with all sorts of family: We saw my parents, my grandparents, my sister, brother-in-law and three nephews. Plus we got to see my uncle, aunt and two cousins, none of whom I had seen in the past five plus years.
- Went to see my 8 year old nephew play basketball.
- Played some Nerf football and various GameCube games with my nephews: I'm not young enough to compete with them in either of these.
- Ate lots of good food: In addition to the typical Thanksgiving day food, we had barbecue pork and hushpuppies from Greenbrier while in Alabama and Carl's Pizza while in Wisconsin.
- Went to see Casino Royale.
- Read The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood.
- Finished watching season 2.0 of Battlestar Galactica and started season 2.5: One of these days, I'll actually catch up.
- Changed my main ringtone on my cellphone for the holidays: It now plays Christmas in Hollis. This makes me laugh everytime it rings.
- Raced a winter storm from Wisconsin back home: They got a blizzard and we ended up with an ice storm.
- I'm sure there was other stuff, but that's all I can remember right now.
Ok, that's what's been going on with me, how about you?

I was wondering what happened to you. I figured it was one of those "breaks" that bloggers usually take.
So, did you ever get a vanity plate for your stormtrooper car? TK-421, I'm tellin' ya!
Dude, I just posted Christmas in Hollis. I love that song, too.
Galactica... still enjoying it? Damn, that's a good show.
Man, that's a lot of driving. Must have been a fun trip! Glad to have you back.
