Back in the saddle again....

Well I'm back in Quincy. It was a great trip back home to Indiana.

On Thanksgiving, my parents and brother Mike, joined Letha and I as we went to her cousin's house near Hamilton South Eastern and had a Thanksgiving feast with members of Letha's family. Overall, it was probably 20 people all together. This was the first time Letha's family and mine met. It went great overall.

Then I had my annual Shane M. White poker night. I was first out at the tables, this didn't make me happy. But I did get to play the New Nintendo Wii. This gaming system is awesome, it's all controlled by a wirless controller that's movement based. I think I enjoyed bowling the best, because it was most life like. Depending on when you release the ball, how your hand moves at the beginning or the end of your throw, it all affects the ball's movement.

Then we did our insane go to Best Buy and stand in a long line and freeze, actually it wasn't that cold this year. Then we hit Circuit City and McDonalds before going home. I fell asleep at 7am. I turned off the phone so not to be disturbed and then was woken up by electric hedge trimmers at 9 am, or so I thought. Cause I was still really tired it had to be only a couple of hours, so when I looked at my phone, it was 2:30 PM! How I had gotten seven hours of sleep and felt like it was only 2 hours is beyond me.

Then we had a good night at the tree lighting and hanging out afterwards.

Our last day was a quick one. We saw a movie, had lunch with Letha's Mom (thanks Mom), and then did some shopping, and then got to the airport to fly back.

It was a great trip and maybe if I'm lucky we can get a less hectic visit next time.

Since then it has been business as usual. Lots of work...playing a lot of Halo 2 online.

Till next time...
