I think I was somehow cursed last Thanksgiving. I fell ill the day after Thanksgiving, and just as I was starting to feel better a few days later, I felt another virus coming on.

Last night, I spent a few hours at one of my favorite places to play some games. I must say that The Office DVD Trivia Challenge is a BLAST. I may have come in a distant third with 5 Schrute Bucks, but it was fun nonetheless. I will have to start rewatching episodes Tuesday nights

Those days between Thanksgiving and Christmas were a blur. Seemed like non-stop travel from home to hospital, or home to in-laws. When my wife was released and scheduled for cancer treatments, she had to stay within an hour of the Ann Arbor Hospital. Our house did not meet that restriction, so she stayed with her

This evening, I went with my family to watch the Santa parade here in town. One of the nieces was somehow scared to death of Santa until grandpa took her up. Then you could not get her away. While we waited for the free photos to develop we watched the junior high band play carols
