Happy 2010 to one and all! Wishing everyone health, happiness and prosperity.
I've been busy since my return from Florida. Tuesday was a work day followed by a mass outing to see Sherlock Holmes. Then on Wednesday, Jennifer and Jonathan came down from Troy for the day. We went to the Lost Dog for lunch with
jpsorrow, followed by an afternoon of gaming at my place. Josh went off to the gym, while we chatted some more, then wandered over to the Cybercafe where we ran into
fireun. Had a nice dinner at Cybercafe hanging out just like old times, while Jonathan decamped to the Sunshine Room to read. Since Jennifer moved to Denver, I miss spending time with her. There are far too many states between Colorado and New York, and I'm fairly sure we don't need ALL of them. We ought to be able to just fold the country in half when we need to, so we could see each other more often.
Locals will be amused by the fact that despite living here for twenty years, Jennifer confessed that she wasn't certain she could find her way to the Lost Dog coming in from I-81--she'd only ever gone there from Endwell, so she'd have to drive to Endwell first and then navigate back. Taking pity on her, I suggested they just drive to my place, so I could chauffeur them.
Then Thursday it was back to work. Today I'm off but this weekend I'll have to work a few hours each day, and then on Monday I start the stretch of at least 12 consecutive work days, possibly 19, depending on how the year-end close progresses. As my nieces would say, Ay-yi-yi!

How I decorate for the holidays. Well, actually only the robot, Optimus ornament and cards are new--everyone else (including the Misfit Toys) lives there year round.

Jennifer and Jonathan were visiting, so naturally we invited Josh to join us for games. Max, my new robot friend, took my turn.

Jennifer and I at the Cybercafe--our old stomping grounds.
