Catch-up, Almost There

Maybe the last part of the catch-up proceedings? I don't know.

The week after Green Lake, Ali, her mom and sister, went to the play Dirty Dancing on Tuesday night. They said it was horrible and left halfway through. Just thought you should know.

I took off for Toronto on Wed morning and got back Friday night. Pretty standard stuff, I have long said that Toronto is a cool town and it did not disappoint yet again. Good meals, a ton of stuff to do, etc. And Canadian beer is so much better than American. Maybe due to the higher alcohol content, that usually makes everything better.

We had a pretty chill weekend, only going to my boss' house for a holiday get together with my work group. About 20 of us went through a lot of beer and wine, some pizza and had a gift exchange. I ended up with lotto tickets and a magic eight ball (won $5) and Ali ended up with a travel pillow/blanket which she will undoubtedly use in this next week.

So, where does that leave us - Xmas week. We are leaving for Lafayette Tuesday night(snow dependant). We will be there until Xmas early evening when we will head to Crystal Lake. We will be in CL until Saturday. We will come home Saturday in preparation for E-man being baptized on Sunday. We are looking forward to spending time with family, seeing Addy for the 2nd time in a month, eating, opening some presents, eating again, and most likely eating some more.

So, if you don't hear from us for a while, that's where we will be. I am sure another catch-up post/rambling will be in our not too distant future.

I am out of here to go to the Bears game tonight - I think its about a -15 wind chill out there right now. Should be fun - football weather.
