67. Sorry for Going AWOL

Sun Dec 25, 2011, 10:15 PM

Dec 2011

I took the Kid to not one, not two, but 3 movies today: Joseph, Prince of Dreams, Prince of Egypt, and a British version of A Christmas Carol starring Alistair Sims, from 1951. This is the first time I've seen her content in I don't know how long. And then we were invited to the neighbors for a dinner party.

As a result, I've gotten nothing done since finishing the paper route at 12:30 this morning....

But I do want to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a Better New Year. (Because if it gets any worse, there will be blood in the streets).

I'd like to add: since the conversion to DU3, I rarely venture beyond the ghetto of our special interest, even into the forum. I think this new regime is stifling.
