Over my 10-day holiday at my in-laws I was able to spend
quality time with Chewy’s side of the family while also being the resident
computer support and home repair person.
I think in those 10-days, I fixed more things in my in-laws house than I
have in the three years of living in my own house.
Not that I’m complaining, especially to some extent my own family
does the same thing. I guess that’s
what being a good son (or son-in-law) entails: Doing and not complaining.I remember seeing a bumper sticker while
traveling back home: Be Happy – Your mom chose life. True, it’s a pro-life sticker yet in some sense it is true. I have joy because Christ is my savior and
when looking back on my life there are always things that have brought
happiness to different segments of my life.
Yes, do less complaining in this new year, I shall. And no matter what Chewy thinks I did have a
good time there. Heck, we watched Star
Wars: Episodes I thru VI (yes, that’s all six episodes) on a 42” widescreen TV as well as seeing the Terps win the
Champs Sport Bowl in High Def.
Some
things to note:- Props to Accuride rails
for sending us replacement detents that had gone bad. Talking to their support they were quick with helping me
determine how to fix a drawer that would keep opening up and not staying
shut. - We went to see the
Nutcracker. It was the first time
seeing a ballet as well as seeing the Nutcracker (I had no clue what it was
about). The funniest part was when the
Nutcracker first came out in pseudo-human form he looked like the Burger King’s The King. I couldn’t stop laughing.
Well laughing inside since we were at a respectable place.
- We joined the Discovery Health
National Body Challenge 2007. Chewy’s goal is to exercise
more and mine is to lose some weight. I’ve gained about 60 pounds since high school and need/should lose about 15-20
pounds. - (not totally related but still cool news) Lucas has said filming for the 4th Indiana Jones movie will start this year!
If it hasn’t become passé:
Happy New Year! - Props to Accuride rails

Ah man, you went to see a ballet? Dude, you’re whipped. Just kidding!
Yeah, I saw that about the 4th Indiana Jones, I wonder if they’ll bring back Shortround. He’s gotta be in his 30′s!
