I appreciate this week a lot.
- It’s short, schoolwise
- I get to see family (Johanna flies in from Austin this morning, yay!)
- Mavis, the daughters and I get to tear it up in the kitchen
- I get out my Sinatra and James Taylor Christmas CDs
- I can watch the Lions lose instead of the Browns
- I get to start wrapping all the gifts that will arrive over the next couple of days
- My v-jazz group has a gig on Sunday; should be some fun
- The thesis gets its finishing touches, then off it goes for the final time, never to be thought about again in my lifetime
- I get more time with Jake and Justin
- No 5 a.m. alarm going off (except the one in my head, which I can choose to ignore)
Now that’s a dandy week, say thankya. What’s your vacation look like? (RD and Greg, I know your answers: every week is vacation…)
Here’s to the start of a fantastic — hopefully short for all of us — work week.

Meh, some of us have to work around here to make enough money to have gas money to go to work

Sounds like good times, luv! I’m gonna spend the vacation working in the studio on some new material & play with all my new software goodies. Bluvox has to work Friday (yuk)… “bless his heart”

Aw, poor BV! What’s he doing anyways? Is he with a corporation, or is he teaching or what?

Mortgage underwriter for Bank of America with govt. certifications for VA and FHA (the only real options left for folks who got those no-doc & sub-prime loans & are now in trouble). Been working OT for a couple months there’s so much work to be done. Poor thing… I keep saying: think of all the cool stuff you can buy me with all your O/T $$!! Woo-hoo!!

Oh is it Thanksgiving already????
No turkeys to be found here, just another day in TulipLand! I hope you have a wonderful holiday with family.

And is it true that they don’t eat pumpkins over there? I know they don’t in Slovenia. BFF Kay tried to buy one to make a pie and they didn’t want to sell it to her. HA

Pumpkins are eaten here, not in a pie but chopped up and in stews or pureed, although it’s a fairly recent thing. When I was first here it was difficult to find a pumpkin that could be eaten–they were just for decoration.

I’m going to be spending some quality time with my oldest daughter. We’ve got 10 days and a whole list of projects, movies, day trips and must-do’s. I’m outta here!
Have a great week, Finkly!

Girlfriend, you have a fantastic time! I love those kinds of projects and to-do lists. Enjoy your daughter, friend.

I work two days this week. Was going to go and see Nine on Thursday but they changed the date so not going to see a movie like usual.

Have you seen Paranormal yet, Will?
Reply
No but I kinda want to if for no other reason than it’s been over-hyped and I want to see it so I can legitimately complain about it. But it’s out of the theater over here so just watching Sci-Fi’s James Bond marathon.

Well, yes, all the shows are over, NOW the vacation period begins!!

Enjoy it, Greggy! (But don’t forget about my concert on the 14th, ja?)

I will be home for several days! I’m so excited, though I do not think Mom is going to let me go anywhere.

That’s because she’ll want you all to herself!

I know. I’m going to have to figure out how to get some time with my friends though.
