old Saint Nick
19 December, 2006 12:53
It really is almost Christmas. Apart from the 50 degree weather and the absence of snow, good old Saint Nick will be visiting in a few days.
I will be heading back home on Friday. Thursday we might get some freezing rain for the ride. For all those who know me, I do not like the idea of riding a large bus with slick roads. I have been in one or two accidents through-out my career.
Christmas eve we spend at my grandmas. I am looking forward to seeing her. I am also looking forward to the good food. I plan on replacing the pounds I have lost in the last couple of weeks. It should make it all worth while.
My uncle always gets me a present for Christmas. It is somewhat out of the ordinary. He lost his son a few years ago, and I think he thinks of me in relation to his son because I might have been going through some of the same turmoil. I have a hard time confronting him about it, so it is a bit awkward. I just don't know what to say, other than thanks.
I am looking forward to getting in touch with a few friends back home. I don't visit very often, so I am in need of some La Crosse excitement - shoot the shit, and other such things.
Unfortunately I have to take the greyhound. It wouldn't be so bad if they took I-90, but instead take 14 all the way into town. What should be a two hour drive or less, with a couple stops to stretch the legs, takes well over 3 hours. All should be OK though, with my MP3 player and cell phone. I hope I get some sort of data service along the way.
Random Thought : I need a new router. I killed my linksys. Did this once before, but restored it by grounding a pin on the flash chip. Well, I grounded the wrong one. It be junk. Damn it, damn it to hell!
