Okemo Thanksgiving Getaway

Wed - drove up in the now, arrived around 11 pm. 

Nearly slid down the mountain in my car!

Thu - Ma's awesome Thanksgiving dinner.

Fri - Sarah's kick-ass pancakes & bacon breakfast. 

Headed home around noon.

Great holiday trip.

Read; drew with all 3 girls; played pool w/the twins; 

played LEGO Marvel Super heroes w/Hayden.

Football all day Thursday with Dad.

Off to Vermont!

Thanksgiving is once again in Vermont. 

Dad & Ma, and Sarah & Hayden & Celia all got up to the house in Ludlow (on Okemo) earlier today; Jon is at the Celtics game with Helena & Georgia, and I am leaving in about 20 minutes (just before 8pm).

First Snow

I was headed out to Dad & Ma's to hang out with them and Jason, and I found my car covered in ¼" of snow.

On the way back (and in the center of town) the snow had frozen solid into a super-dangerous surface - YIKES! I drove home at 20 miles per hour!

Great Use of New Time

It's been a pretty good time these last few days AB ("After Brookstone").

• I've worked out twice. 
• I've rediscovered my guitar, and I've used it several days already. 
• I've been weeding out junk I have that is taking up space and/or can be sold off. 
• I've finished a book ("Dark Star Safari"). 
• And I've spent a lot more time drawing.

This second go-round with not working is going to be productive and fun. I'm not going to let its potential slip by...

Farewell...

...Brookstone.

I loved working with you, but seriously - NO raise in three years? I guess I was able to invest more of me into our relationship than you were of you. Good luck.

Love,

Brother Day

It was a cool dry sunny fall day.

I spent the afternoon with Kevin and his family just south of the NH border. The Patriots kicked the Steelers' asses (final score: 55-31). Kevin made awesome cheeseburgers.

And I dropped $102.45 at the comic shop, for at least 2 evenings' worth of reading.

Mister Ween, from yesterday!
