Sabbatical over



I've been on vacation (off-an on) for the last 2 weeks but that's all over with now. In almost 12 hours my mid-December hiatus will end.

Things I learned while I was on vacation:

1. Paper plates and plastic cups are a must while on vacation. I believe it will become a permant anchor for future vacations. One disadvantage: There is certainly more trash to throw away.

2. Eat in. It can become way too expensive to eat out everyday. Exception: San Francisco Oven.

3. Send greeting cards. People loved them I found out. I loved mine. I suggest you humor yourself my making your signature as difficult to read as possible. For some reason, in my pack of 32 there were a few with a picture of Santa holding the American Flag. The message read something about patriotism. I thought Santa was the biggest illegal alien there was.

And just what did I do: i watched a lot of tv. Probably the most television I've watched in a while. I grew fond of movies like Jingle All The Way, Home Alone 2 and of course I could not miss 24 Hours of A Christmas Story. I caught about 4 hours of it.

I'm actually excited to be back. I'm hoping to be involved in some creative projects soon and will take a few months to learn some different ways to improve the website. Once a get a nice basic grasp of HTML, I'm hoping to learn a little bit of Flash, and finally get that PhotoShop thing down (complete with personal home installation).

Looks like there are some things to keep an eye out for.

Edwards looks to announce his presidential bid. But what about Obama?

Saddam to be executed soon. He called for and end to hate?

Sun Bowl may be sold out, maybe not.

New Years Resolutions.
