Nothing Interesting

I realized the other day that I haven't been keeping up with my blog lately. I guess that in part it is due to the fact that not much interesting has happened. I could always comment on the unseasonably warm weather we had a few weeks ago or the frigid temperatures that are chilling me to the bone right now and tie it in to some sort of global warming polemic. I could also throw in some new stories about the tornado in London, warmer waters dirupting ocean food chains, and Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. But, I don't think that I am going to do that.

 

I suppose I could go on some sort of tirade against the commercialism of the Christmas season also and the fact that my Christmas spirit is non-existant this year. It died almost immediately after a local radio station started to play Christmas songs the day after Halloween. I haven't even put up the Christmas tree yet and if it weren't for the kids, my home would likely go undecorated this year. Bah Humbug! You're a mean one Mr. Grinch!

 

I honestly wish that when I wake up tomorrow morning, it would be January 1, 2007. I am not going to be sorry one bit to see this stinking, rotten, crappy year of 2006 end.

 

Now on a less crabby and misanthropic note, I can say that I was able to cross something off of my I've Never list. Up until last week, I was able to say that I've never eaten Thai food. Thanks to a lunch out with some coworkers, I can say that I had Thai food. While eating a plate of pad kee mao is not exactly sky diving (That is not on my I've never list, but is on my I've never and don't ever intend to list. I don't see the point of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane with a bedsheet tied to my back), it is another big step for me while trying to exit a life of quiet desperation. Next stop Vietnamese food.
