Had a good Christmas this year. We got to see most of the extended family, and my step-father’s daughter and her family stopped by on the way back from Mexico to their home in Columbus.
We’ve been taking it easy so far, but the next few days are going to be pretty busy. We’re meeting my dad and step-mom at Brother Juniper’s for breakfast tomorrow, then we’ve got to run some errands to close up a safety deposit box, fedex some stuff for my new job, then meet up with Teresa’s old coworkers. Tomorrow night’s Memphis vs. Cincinnati, the second Tiger game I’ll get to see this season in person.
Tuesday we’re getting together with my old work friends, and then eating at Sakura with my sister. Teresa’s been craving their sushi since we left. New Years Eve has another Tiger basketball game, but no other plans right now.
We leave on the 1st, so if anyone wants to get together, time’s running short.

We’re almost to Memphis…finally. A 6 hour drive from Pittsburgh to Louisville took 11 hours. We knew it would take longer due to weather, but we hadn’t counted on the interstate being shut down for 2 hours. After leaving Louisville in a monsoon this morning, we’re finally in the home stretch.
As much as we’re enjoying Pitsburgh, it’s good to be back in the south again where people talk normal (I’ll take “y’all” over “yins” any day). We are looking forward to visiting family and friends, and getting to see a couple Tiger games.

Christmas, Memphis
When moving up to Pittsburgh, my wife and I were both warned about the winters. So far it’s been nothing special. Now we’re told that February & March are the big snow months, but I’m still not convinced. One thing I have noticed with the limited snow we’ve had is that the salt they put down in Memphis must be table salt. The stuff they use up here is amazing in how well it works.
I will say that it’s really cold right now. It hasn’t been too bad up until now because there wasn’t much wind, but it picked up last night.

My main resolution for 2009 is to keep up with a blog. I’ve told myself I’d do this the last few years, but was never consistent with it. I’ve started this as a way of expressing my thoughts, and we’ll see how far into 2009 I make it. I also blog tech related things at yakk0.org. I’ll continue to keep the sites separate, at least for the time being. You can also find me on Twitter, TWiT Army, Facebook, Livejournal, and other social networks that pop up.
