So Thanksgiving was good. We ended up going to my step-sister's mother-in-law's house for dinner (as well as "encores" on Friday). Lots of little kids to play with. I ended up playing a soccer player, pack mule, and a plant killer.
I ended up playing golf with my step-brother-in-law. I beat him by 3 strokes, but he won $5 off me through the betting process. Don't ask.
Getting back to Chicago was the third-worst travel experiences I've ever had.* I had a 6-hour delay in Nashville before flying out on a completely different airline. I was planning on getting home around 9:30pm or so... try 2:30am. Like hell I showed up to work at 6:45 that morning. Try 11am. ;-)
Good news about this week - I don't work today or tomorrow. We're in the process of moving buildings, and they don't want us to show up at either office until Friday. Instead, they want us to work from home. Well, most of my work is done in a lab, so I don't have much to do until Friday. I'm thinking Christmas shopping, maybe a Blackhawks game, and a game or two of drop-in hockey (since I haven't played in months).
That's it for now. Gotta get back to "work" (Read as: "Go get out of my PJs and into the shower before hitting the Mag Mile).
* Worst was during marching band where we stuck on the tarmac for 6 hours without food/drinks before a 4 hour flight. Second was a 12-hour delay for yet another marching band trip to the Rose Bowl.
I would have gladly spent 12 hours in an airport for a free trip to the Rose Bowl that year. So you can't bitch too much! Me: grumble grumble...band...grumble..free trips...grumble

I have to admit, though... that was one sweet game!
