Christmas went well this year, although we've got one more to go. I piled in lots of loot--mostly books, music, and movies, but that's OK. My want lists are pretty small these days.
Lessee...the booty pile includes
Jamiroquai--Dynamite
Alanis Morrisette's greatest hits CD
Batman Begins
Volume 4 of Batman the Animated Series
A set of noise-reducing headphones
a nifty Vanderbilt baseball jersey
and a few other odds and ends.

Yay! I've gotten about 3 days of nothing but lazy rest after the return home from Alabama--just in time to gird up my loins for our second holiday trip, this time to my parents in Fort Worth, Texas.
I figured this would be a good day to do some random musings and observations.

I haven't been sleeping very well in my own bed lately. I can't figure out why. As luck would have it, in Alabama, in a strange bed I had never slept in up to that point, I slept like a baby. That's very unusual for me. Usually I sleep great at home and it takes me a couple of days to adjust when I travel.

You'll laugh, but I'm also convinced that my wife, pravon, is allergic to doing fun things. It seems like every time we go on a trip or plan a special occasion, she gets sick. I think her body enjoys being miserable and rejects any notion of fun. Don't tell her I said that, though.

If you're not a football fan, you can skip down to the next one, but I'm finally resolving myself to accept that Birmingham City are getting relegated this season. They've simply never been able to put things together. I'm now in the process of deciding who I will follow in the Premiership next season. Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea need not apply.
I'm leaning towards West Brom, assuming they stay up--which they might not. I finally managed to nab a West Brom shirt--woo hoo!
Something we're not seeing enough of this year

2005 has zipped by, but it was a VAST improvement over 2004, which arguably was one of the most stressful years of my life. Here's to 2006 taking even more steps forward!
