My centennial

Lots to sum up.
Thanksgiving, it felt like a non-holiday. It wasn't warm, there weren't a lot of people around, I didn't eat all that much. It couldn't have felt less like a holiday. It kinda bummed me out. Sometimes I am very envious of my friends who have lots of family, or are closer to their extended families. There wasn't much say in it for me. My parents set the tone and it all kinda deteriorated over time. But we haven't had a thanksgiving with any extended family since the time we went to Kentucky to see my Grandma in '85. I was very thankful to be at home as opposed to work. Very grateful for the long long weekend (which is almost over *sniff*)

Went out last night with Missy. She was featured here on the 'Halloween's past' Post somewhere around mid-October. We went to see Dave's Planet. It was so fun. I didn't drink a lot. I really enjoyed the people watching. When Missy and I go out (which only happens once or twice a year) we always laugh a lot. This was extreme, I kept walking away because my stomach was hurting so bad and I couldn't take anymore. Unlike Emma, we stayed until the lights came on (2:30 here in NE Ohio). It was a riot. I got to sleep real close to 3:00am. Very very tired now. But at least not hung over which would be worse.

Luke showed up. He was in very good spirits. Also ran into Pazz a coworker of mine. He hung out with us for a good part of the night. Damn I cannot rememeber the last time I laughed like that. Poor Luke wasn't drinking at all and the rest of us wondered how he managed to put up with our nonsense. But honestly I would've had a ball without even the beers. It was awesome. And then, at the bar in the wee hours, with the music, the laughter, the smoke and all that, my shoulders descended, just for a little while. The tension had gone out of my shoulders. I noticed in the middle of the night though that it was back!

Thanks for reading my 100th post. Leave a comment :-)
