Once again I am reporting from SLO.
Had a lovely Christmas with the family. Flew down Christmas morning. My plane left Eureka at 6:15am so getting up kind of sucked. Flight down was pretty harmless. Got picked up and then went to Church with the family. It was the first time since last Christmas. Kind of weird, cause the whole church thing doesn't really do it for me, but once I stepped inside, it all came back to me. Every prayer and sheep like muttering came running out of my mouth like I'd been going every week. I think it meant a lot to mom and dad that we were all there together, so it was ok.
After church we came home and opened presents. It was really nice of my parents to make everyone wait for me to get there, and I even got a couple of gifts which were unexpected seeing as I just got a brand new car. I got a flannel shirt and pajamas. I also got an electric blanket and a cookie jar shaped like a bullfrog that sings "Joy To The World" when you open it. His name is Jeremiah. I also scored a copy of Mallrats on DVD and my uncle Chuck from Washington sent me the Beatles "1" CD and 20 bucks. I talked to him on the phone for like three and a half hours yesterday. We talked about life and a bunch of stuff. He's going to call me in a few days when I get back up north. I'd like to get back up to Seattle and see him for a day or two, but it may have to wait till Spring Break.
Pretty much I've just been sitting around the house relaxing. Eating lots of food and watching movies. We've also played a lot of family games. It's been a nice visit. Today my dad and I sat on the couch and watched Anger Management while drinking beer and snacking on chips and salsa. Kind of weird drinking with my dad, but it was cool. We picked up a 6 pack of Red Seal Ale, tasty brew.
I fly out tomorow morning at 10:20am. However I have a 3 hour layover in SF. I'm going to try and find a book at the Airport to buy and read. My Maxim isn't going to last that long. I get into Eureka at 3:30 and have the house to myself for one last night. Tuesday everyone comes home and we have friends coming up for our NYE extravaganza. Should be good times. Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and that they have a great New Years.
Thanks Esther

So, it's almost been a month, yeah, I'm alive.
I'm all done with school, last final turned in today. Woo Hoo! Haven't been up to a whole lot. Been enjoying the new car a lot. It's such a sweet ride! Otherwise, just been working and schoolin, had 4 take home finals. Glad to be done with all of them. Been watching the setlists for Dave and Friends, pretty cool stuff, I really want to go to the show in Oakland. My time off request was denied but I'm going to try and get down there somehow. I gots to see the show.
Flying home to see the family on Christmas morning. Going to be down south for 4 days. Not exactly sure what the hell I'm gonna do the whole time. I've got no friends down there, and I won't have a car, so it should be interesting. I'm predicting a lot of sitting on my ass, eating, watching movies, and playing board games with the fam.
Well, that's about it for me, till next time...
