Well its the week before Christmas and I have not posted for almost a month.  My Bad. Been kind of busy with both my girls having hip surgery and having to do my best Florence Nightingale for the past few weeks.  Good news is they are almost back in the flow and have both lost the crutches. They both healed very quickly.

Last week I was in the big apple. Does anyone call it the big apple anymore? Seriously.

However the weather was crazy. Low ceilings delayed (no surprise) our flight from 7PM arrival to after 10, but my work associate and I didn't let that deter us. It was after all 66 degrees at midnight. The next day we had lunch and ate outside on the patio. Yea on December 15th. I even removed my jacket.  I suppose my beard helped.

Got home from New York on Wednesday night and the next day picked up Joel from the airport, the last winter break for him!

Joel and I went and hung out with Glen and Cory, because Cory had 4 tickets to the 1:40 AM showing of the new Star Wars Movie. Yep opening night stuff.  Joel and I did not get home until after 5 AM. Friday morning was rough.

That evening I met up with a few people from grade school. We have done this every year for the last few and its always an interesting and fun evening.

Finally I did put the hammock up on Saturday and slept outside keeping my streak alive. It was a low of around 23 which was not bad but the wind was very strong.  That kept me awake more than anything. I actually had a tie out on my tarp break the wind was so strong. I don't know how mild this winter will be but it seems that I may not get to cold at this pace.

Happy Holidays!
