Postcards

There are cats in my house! So I finally got everything unpacked and was settling into my new house, and then Jenny moved in. Now there are boxes and stuff everywhere again. Today we brought the cats over. Kitties! They're locked up in the bedroom with us now. Pixel's exploring the bathroom, and Spiff was camped out by the door waiting to check out the rest of the house.

The new house is pretty awesome. Jenny's painting one of the bedrooms because she couldn't stand the color. I've got two of the pinball machines home, but there's still one at work and one at a friend's house. Other than that, I'm pretty settled in, and soon Jenny will be, too. I've got some pictures up, but the house was still pretty disorganized when I took them.

We flew to South Carolina for Thanksgiving with Jenny's sister and dad. We stayed at her uncle Moe's house for a couple of days, and I got to meet a bit of her extended family. They were all fun people, and they had a couple of dachshunds running around the house. Our stay there was great, but we had flight delays going both ways. On the way back, we spent about six hours in DC and didn't get home until 3 in the morning.

Work is work. One of our publishers, SAGE Publications, ran a hugely successful free trial during the month of November, which generated a bit more traffic than usual. Dealing with that kept me pretty busy and not working on the stuff I wanted to get done. I finally got some time to start working on that, and then I got sick for a week. Still getting over that.

I'll be missing my ice hockey game tonight. My skating has improved a bit, but I still need to work on handling the puck. Most of the time I end up passing it almost as soon as I get it, which isn't so good. Last week I scored my second goal. Woo!
