I had a pretty good Thanksgiving break. I really needed that. For the first time in a while I had a weekend that didn’t fly by way too fast, but that’s probably because it was over twice as long as normal.

This was only the 3rd Thanksgiving that I can remember where I didn’t go back to Jackson. I was kind of glad when I saw how many people on Twitter were stressing out over cooking and relatives and what not. Also, I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of boarding the dog somewhere. I wish we had some real kennels around here. It’s good to spend a break doing only what I wanted to do. I even went an entire day without seeing another human being.

What did I do?

• caught up on all the stuff on my DVR
• finished the Babylon 5 re-watch that I started last year
• did some shopping and bought stuff for me and the dog
• played video games

After 3 more weeks of work, I get a 2 week break. I’m ready for another break.

It hit me the other day that we’ll be starting a new decade in a little under 2 months. I would’ve expected a bigger deal to be made about it, but maybe it has and I’ve been out of the loop. We’ll probably be seeing a lot of retrospectives on TV in December.

Time really does fly by. Recently, I thought about a lot of things that happened “a few years ago” and then realize that it happened 7 or 8 or 9 years ago. Anyway, I expect some big things to happen in 2010. You’ll probably hear about them here or on my Twitter page first.
