Hello,
I hope everyone had a happy Christmas!
The trip to the airport to come back to Las Vegas was interesting enough for me. With me refusing to take a 20 dollar bus ride (and cursing the no change given rule), freezing my face enough to slur my words, and finally being picked up by a bus that shouldn’t have stopped, paying the right price, and the bonus of having my pockets full of gummy bears and beef jerky (had to make change for the 20).
It has been another good Christmas with the Mom and brother. I am eternally grateful for the London Christmas with my Mom in 2002. I think it has set the right example of the meaning of Christmas in my mind at least. One of the best things was seeing my friends, with the wish that someday all of these people could live in one place again, and the reminder that it will probably never happen. It is always a battle for me of enjoying the seasons of having certain people in your life and then being able to let go when it is time to move on.
I’m looking forward to going back to the snowy Seattle. I’ve got a few ideas of sledding that I need to give a try. It looks like it might be rain for the moment, but I hope the snow makes another appearance. Although, 40 degrees does sound pretty good compared to the dang 20s it was when I left. But I do love the nonsound that the snow makes when it is falling, if that makes any sense at all.
My goal of meeting all of my neighbors has been extended one month. I’ll be getting my new professional mixer in the mail soon so I can properly deliver goods to all the organic, healthy eaters in the neighborhood. How could I tell them the cinnamon rolls came from a can, when I know some of them probably have not stepped foot into a Safeway for a few years on the chance they might buy something that isn’t pesticide free, free range, or grown by farmers that put their first names on the packaging. I can’t do that to them. So we wait for the copper Kitchen-Aid Professional 620 Mixer. I don’t know how big six quarts is but I’m guessing I can make a lot with it.
So, two goals/new things for January. 1. Bring proper goods to neighbors. 2. Start the Argentine Tango dance class with Jamie. I don’t feel like I’m going to far out on a limb to say I am not the best dancer. And so far, word on the street is that Tango isn’t the easiest thing to do. Also, I’m not exactly sure how many different kinds of Tango are out there. I am hoping Argentine is the most fun kind.
have a good day
your friend
chad.
