as good a time as any...

i don't know why i've been delaying, but it's the same issue of having so much to say you don't know where to start. however, as a helpful list on my office wall tells me, "stop telling yourself you do not know how to start - start."

christmas at the cabin with lindsay's folks was wonderful and while we drove around seeing a few friends in knoxville on christmas eve, the best part was just hanging out at the cabin and not having to rush around or drive all over town instead of just being able to relax.

on new year's eve, joseph - my friend from work who happens to live down the street - and his out of town girlfriend katie (well used to be in-town, but... long story...) and his cousin came over and we watched napoleon dynamite. pretty funny and off-beat. for the ball dropping, it was just me and L as jake had already crashed of course. actually, L had fallen asleep when the ball dropped and i used tivo to show her lol great stuff.

i'm enjoying the extra rest from the time off school and i'm sure L is enjoying the extra time spent with her as much as i am.
