I made it through the holidays safely again.\u00a0 It always gets kind of dicey around this time, definitely touch and go.\u00a0 We kept a very low profile, leaving me with precious little to go on for the purposes of this page.\u00a0 I did enjoy some delicious food though, so that will have to do.\u00a0 New Year’s Eve, we passed on a chance to join some friends in San Francisco, instead opting to stay in and fix a nice meal at home.\u00a0 And it WAS a nice meal, indeed, but I immediately regretted not making the trip.\u00a0 We need to broaden our horizons a bit.\u00a0 Matter of fact, I went ahead and made reservations for a hotel at next year’s event, so we don’t get sucked into the same rut.\u00a0 Oh well, anyway, we got some nice ribeye steaks from Whole Foods, and some big ol’ lobster tails from Nugget, and enjoyed our stay-at-home meal, such as it was.\u00a0 After that I made the all-too-common error of turning on the TV, and it was lights out for Phil.\u00a0 Donette claims she stayed up and rang in the new year, although I have no way of verifying that.<\/p>\n
Friday, determined to get back into my normal post-holiday routine, I enjoyed a little happy hour at Hop House.\u00a0 Enjoyably boring as always.\u00a0 After that we headed home and fired up the long dormant Rock Band game, which was good for some laughs.\u00a0 The rest of the weekend didn’t have much of note.\u00a0 If we did anything at all Saturday I don’t recall what it was.\u00a0 Sunday I spent the majority (entirety?) of the day over at a buddy’s house watching football and smoking ribs.\u00a0 It was a nice day out and I enjoyed myself immensely.\u00a0 The ribs turned out quite tasty too, at least as my normal rib effort goes.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
