Turkey Hangover
December 26, 2007
I guess it’s time to start shopping for Christmas 2008 now?
It’s nice to be home for the holidays. I’ve never missed this town, but there are people here whom I miss dearly while away, so it’s great to see them.
I also got to see my dog again. I missed her. She even recognized me through the beard. My sister brought her Min Pins over for the day. They’re little bundles of concentrated evil. I’ve never understood the attraction of Min Pins, but their owners absolutely love the breed. To me they just seem wiry, cold, and cruel. They constantly act and look like a startled deer. Her dogs pretended to not recognize me, but I know they knew me. They were just using the beard as an excuse to freak out. Concentrated evil.
I forgot I would have to bring gifts back home, and I didn’t really pack accordingly. I received a lot of books this year. I think I’m going to have to carry another suitcase on the plane exclusively for books.
I also received a small briefcase containing a tear-apart golf putter. It’s a putter in three pieces that you screw into each other to make a whole putter, much like a professional billiards player does with his cue stick, but with a putter.
Yeah, it confuses me also.
All in all, it’s been a good trip. I’m here until Sunday, and most of my friends have abandoned me for work and vacations, so I should be able to get a good amount of reading done, at least.
I hope all of you had a good Christmas, if Christmas is your thing.
I’m not much into chirstmas either, but I’m glad to hear that you had a good visit with the fam. Mine was thankfully uneventful which is all I can ask for. New year’s is more my thing anyway.

I’m afraid most of the miniature breeds are lost on me and I can’t help wondering, frankly, whether miniaturising dogs isn’t just downright cruel - no wonder the poor things have such chips on their shoulders. You did this to us? We’ll get you!
Enjoy the rest of your Christmas break - and the reading - and travel home safely.

Still not sure what I’ll be doing this New Year’s Eve. Going to be fairly low-key, I think, as most people will still be out of town.

Dang, I left a comment here a couple of days ago and blogger seems to have eaten it. I seem to recall I warbled on about miniature dog breeds and how it was no wonder they had a propensity to evil - given that it was us who shrunk them! ;-)
Glad you had a good visit with your family - travel home safely.

Thanks, Vanilla. That is a good point about the miniature dogs. This is the high pitched yapping of karma I hear.

Ack, a couple of your comments got caught in my spam filter, Vanilla. Sorry about that!
