Really corny and/or sappy

My love cannot be quantified,
My love cannot be verified.

I love you without judgment,
I love you without condition.

I love you simply.

Another lonely Christmas but not so much

During this holiday season, the Mrs. and I took the time to do some visiting. To hear her tell it she convinced me to take three weeks off for a road trip. Actually, one of those weeks I had off anyway so it was really only two weeks. Well, as is my way I was reluctant to go but overall, this has been a good trip. We saw some friends from graduate school who live in Mississippi, we told them not to move there but there are doing well. We visited family in Augusta, GA and had a very pleasurable time. Evidently, if you buy your wine by the case it is cheaper but that still means you are a buying a case of wine for one person. If the wine shop owners, pull out a cart and shop for you, you buy a lot of wine.

From there we went to my father's house. Sometimes I slip and call it my parents' house but according to the bank it is my father's house. It was pretty enjoyable. As always, we reminisce about my mother and funny times. We learned more about his father (my grandfather) and a little more about my mother's father (my other grandfather). We made a bunch of phone calls on Christmas but the best part about Christmas was sitting around and talking for hours in the living room in our pajamas. I love pajamas. Anyway, it was really nice. It felt very adult and sedate. If our plans go well in 2011, it will be the last time we are able to do that for many years to come.

To 2011, I say watch out. You will see me tidy up my office, re-pot my plants, and complete a triathlon, among other things.
