Greetings to everyone from Antioch, CA. This is a city that my parents like to think is near the San Francisco Bay Area, but probably has the culture and the people of Middle-of-Nowhere, USA. Blythewood (where I grew up) was more charming, because at least people in Blythewood had seen Asian people.
Anyway, I’ve taken a gratuitous amount of time off of work to be here, although I have a conference call set up for Tuesday morning. That wasn’t my idea, but of course I don’t have the power to stop it :). Besides that, it’s been very relaxing. I’ve had to do some last minute shopping despite my very careful planning. Oh, well.
So far Chris is here with her two cats, which makes for a pretty full household. Dan ( + children) and Meilee & Jim are going to be showing up at some point today. Dan requested that we hide all the gifts so that it looks like Santa came, except I have no clue where to put them. My parents don’t have a lot of excess closet room.
Hope everyone else is having a good time this season. The time off of work is always nice. After New Years there is that terrible drought of no company holidays, so I’m enjoying this while I can. Even though I just checked my work email (lame!).
Happy Holidays!!
