I guess the holidays are 1\/2 over now?\u00a0 Maybe only 1\/3 if you count New Years.\u00a0 The season has officially begun, at any rate.\u00a0 I’m awfully limited on material this particular Monday, so I think I’ll just go with a mish-mash of mini-info from the last week.\u00a0 I was oncall over the weekend, and as such spent the vast majority of it sitting on the couch staring at my phone, waiting for it to ring.\u00a0 Can’t do much with that.<\/p>\n
So, backing all the way up to last Wednesday…\u00a0 Things started off rather rough, as alluded to in the post below.\u00a0 The day rebounded though.\u00a0 After rescuing my motorcycle from sitting in the rain on the UMKC campus, I joined a large group of old men down at the Brooksider for the annual pre-Thanksgiving AKL luncheon.\u00a0 I missed the actual lunch, but I met up with the late crowd, which was still pretty sizable.\u00a0 After that I went home to find my first Christmas present of the year laying on the front porch;\u00a0 A shiny new Synology DS-111<\/a> from Santa Claus.\u00a0 After spending way-too-much time trying to make my website run on my woefully underpowered NSLU2<\/a>, I finally gave up and just bought a new toy.\u00a0 So far it’s working out well;\u00a0 This is my first official post on it as a matter of fact.<\/p>\n Thursday, if you didn’t know, was Thanksgiving Day.\u00a0 We headed out to Mom’s house for a good ol’ traditional Turkey Day meal.\u00a0 (”Traditional” sans sweet potatoes…\u00a0 Not sure what happened there…)\u00a0 We overate in the traditional fashion, that’s for sure.\u00a0 After that delicious meal we headed back home and watched some football.\u00a0 I usually head down to the ‘Sider to compare gluttony stories that evening, but I didn’t make it off the couch this year.\u00a0 Donette went down and checked out the Plaza lights with her sister and niece, but I was too warm and comfortable to go out.<\/p>\n Friday started my oncall stretch;\u00a0 Booooo.\u00a0 We went down to the Brooksider briefly, then went home and Donette made a steak dinner.\u00a0 Not sure what the occasion was there, and I didn’t see any reason to ask.\u00a0 Just enjoy the steak.\u00a0 That pretty much covers Friday, and as this paragraph is a little short I’ll just roll Saturday into it too.\u00a0 Saturday we didn’t do anything.\u00a0 Literally.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, I never even got dressed.\u00a0 We had no intentions of leaving the house so I didn’t really see the point.\u00a0 We watched the glorious MU-KU game on TV, and assorted other less interesting games, and that comprised our entire day.\u00a0 Sorta sad really, but rather relaxing at the same time.<\/p>\n Honestly Sunday wasn’t exactly a big upgrade from Saturday as far as accomplishments.\u00a0 I did at least get dressed though.\u00a0 We left the house a few times too.\u00a0 Made a run to Costco, which is always exciting.\u00a0 After that we headed over to our friend Ronnie’s house to watch the Chief’s game.\u00a0 That is getting to be the ”Place To Be” on game day.\u00a0 At one point I counted 25 people there.\u00a0 Good win too;\u00a0 That always makes for a better party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I guess the holidays are 1\/2 over now?\u00a0 Maybe only 1\/3 if you count New Years.\u00a0 The season has officially begun, at any rate.\u00a0 I’m awfully limited on material this particular Monday, so I think I’ll just go with a mish-mash of mini-info from the last week.\u00a0 I was oncall over the weekend, and as […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/839\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
