Back to Work...

Sorry I took a couple extra days to start blogging again. Monday night I was sick as a dog and took Tuesday off to recuperate, and yesterday was catch-up-on-everything day so didn't have the time to do a decent post.

The week off was wonderful but too short. We had lots of family visits, time with the kids, too much good food, and not much in the way of stress. For Christmas I got a new tennis racket I've been itching for as well as some new sweaters and shirts for work, a few movies, a couple computer games, and some Warhammer stuff. Kim enjoyed all of her presents and didn't have to return any this year. I'm getting better. ;)

My father's 49th Birthday was celebrated by going to a Sens game again this year, and I took Holden with me since we had the Kids. He had fun but it was obviously not too enthralling to him; there was a lot of chatter and questions and not a lot of game watching. Oh well, at his age I would have been bored too. BTW, the Sens won over the Rangers, 1-0. W00t.

New Year's Eve we spent as in previous years visiting Kim's sister and her roommate in Kingston, but had to rush home New Year's Day to get ready for work on the Second. That sucked, especially since I was sick that night. I think it was some super-bug flu that my super-enhanced immune system was overcome by for a bit before reasserting its powerful defenses. Kim says it was a cold. I like my explanation better.

One last thing...

Out of all the events over the past couple weeks, I was quite surprised by the rapidity of the sentencing and execution of Saddam Hussein. As you may or may not know, I oppose the death penalty and this case is no exception but I will not be shedding any tears for the tyrant. I still question the method and the speed it was taken care of. Hanging? In the 21st century? As Kim asked, did they not know about lethal injection in Iraq? Kind of barbaric in my opinion. And why the rush so soon after the trial and failed appeal, and during a time of year when many religions are celebrating holidays? Seems ill-advised to me.

But then this whole Iraq debacle has been ill advised in my view. Why change now?
