My wife and I are at the “Feats of strength” portion of Festivus. I think I can take her this year. I jogged to the mailbox yesterday in preparation for it.

LOL mine definitely seems to be following that track.
Airing of grievances yesterday, hope the feats of strength are forgiving

It’s weird, but I feel like the suburb I grew up in… which now has a large number of fairly authentic Chinese places (asian population has grown significantly), it wasn’t easy to find a nearby open Chinese place on Christmas Eve.
That said I’m hoping my favorite Thai place is open mid-afternoon on Xmas Eve, because I invariably end up wanting something other than American-style food, and I’ve been dying for a good Pad See Ew.

I am only about a 30 minute ride rate into Washington, DC or Baltimore, MD and both of them have a to many GR8 restaurants to choose from and feel very fortunate.

Happy holidays, family! Me and my wife are chilling in Puerto Morelos for Christmas. First time in 51 years I’ve been on vacation during this time and it kicks booty. No annoying cousins, no cooking, all sun, ceviche, and el pastor!

We moved to the sticks almost 10 years ago, the takeout scene here is terrible. It’s weird because our access to high quality ingredients is great.

We quit celebrating Xmas due to the commercialism. We support the kids in celebrating and socialize. I’ll be making a Sheppard’s pie and watch the skins lose to the jets. Unfortunately I’m a skins fan.

I grew up in the sticks Calvert County, MD and we had nothing, but great times down there. We also had nothing either except great quality food to cook with and what restaurants there were at the time though very good were always crowded. I could not convince my wife to do the commute thing. We are in a great neighborhood though all adults.

We don’t have to deal with the commute issue at all I closed my company a few years ago and am now retired. My wife is a vice president of a company and comes and goes as she pleases to, and works from home a few days a week. The commute to her office is about 45 minutes and she encounters no traffic at all. We are very lucky.

Season’s Grootings!
No snow, Brown Christmas… so here’s a Vermont Sand-snowman.
No family close by, but I did take an out of town cousin to lunch yesterday as he was it town shopping.
I have had a few invites and turned down none. Church vigil at 4pm, then wings, beer, weed and cards until done. Tomorrow Christmas dinner at friends’ niece’s home with food, drink and weed. I’ve stocked up the hut so I’ll try and scare up some visitors this week. I expect bff from downstate to appear before the new year.
