Happy Holidays!<\/b><\/p>\n

Friends, I figured that as long as I’m waiting for software to arrive, I might as well do something productive. Then I thought better of it and decided to write a new post instead.<\/p>\n

[rant]Okay, get this. I’m waiting on mission-drop-dead-not-kidding-critical software to arrive in the mail. That’s right. The vendor I’m dealing with, who has been bitching about slipped deadlines, is sending me configuration files on a CD through the post on the week before Christmas<\/i>. Yep, because you see, this here Innernut thing is too flaky. You can’t expect to just cram all them files through that little phone cable hangin’ off the back of the peecee. That’s ludicrous![\/end rant]<\/p>\n

That said, my sister and favorite nephew and I had a nice dinner with someone last night. It was something of a holiday dinner, so I had enchiladas to get me in the mood and you know what? It really worked!<\/p>\n

After we said our goodbyes and “see ya next years” I actually gathered the courage and strength of conviction to continue gift shopping. I’m only giving a few gifts this year (it’s the budget, buddy) and those gifts I am giving are identical, so I’m pretty much done. A cool toy or two needs to find its way home with me, but that’ll be the end of it.<\/p>\n

So let’s see, I’ll load up the dogs on Friday and head to see the folks. That’s pretty good already if you ask me. More later.<\/p>\n

Your pal,<\/p>\n

bob<\/p>\n

P.S. Don’t you hate it when you finally get on the phone with somebody but you can’t remember what you really called about? It’s awkward. You try anything to unearth that little nugget, like talking about something else in the hope that you’ll get around to the real subject. But that never happens, does it?<\/p>\n

Kinda like this whole post.<\/p>\n

And no, I still can’t remember.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
