Post-gobble wrap-up
Thanksgiving was quite the necessary breather before we head in to the Holiday Formerly Known as Christmas and mine and Andrea’s visit to Sweden. We managed to relax, eat, and really have nothing to show for the time off, exactly according to plan.
Broke down, braved the eerie crowds at Best Buy, and picked up an Atari Flashback 2. Oh, the happiness of holding one of those controllers again. Unfortunately, my reflexes are no longer what they once were … that bastard centipede is fast.
If you’re in the Phoenix area, the luminarias at Desert Botanical Garden are well worth a visit—very de-stressing.
