ze update du jour ...

It's been several days and no further incident of malicious tire damage.

Good sign, no?

Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Had my official birthday dinner on Saturday. Went to a very nice steakhouse with some close friends.

• Absolut kamikaze on the rocks.

• Warm spinach salad. To die for.

• 16 oz. NY strip steak, twice-baked potato.


• Cheesecake.

• Cafe au lait.

And then there were the prezzies.

• iPod Nano


Do I have good friends or what?

• Gift certificate to iTunes.

• Gift certificate to my favorite local clothing store.

Work is still killing me, slowly but over the course of long, long days. But, thus far, I'm still alive.

another update; sorry it's late ...

Christmas
OK, I never did get fully into the Christmas spirit, but everything ended up OK. I got all presents bought and wrapped in time and did good by the godkids and everyone else I think. Also got some decent loot ... mostly gift certificates to get new clothes, since most of what I own is a bit big on me these days.

I did happen to get an early Christmas present:


Yeah, came downstairs the Saturday before Christmas to be greeted by a smashed windshield. 'Tis the season!

New Year's Eve and New Year
Nothing exciting.

Oh yeah ... except a couple days after, I came downstairs and found both my rear tires punctured ... on the side, as if by a knife blade. Happy New Year!

Work
We don't really want to go there, do we?

Love
See above.

Anything else ya guys needed to know?

OK ... one more pic of me in red, from the company Christmas party:
