Two years ago I drove around looking for a place to have Christmas Dinner. Everything was closed. Even Denny’s. I finally ended up at Norm’s on Lincoln Blvd. in Santa Monica. Last year my best **fiend** came down from Washington and I drove him to his mom’s. I hung out there.

This year I’ll probably stay at home so that I don’t have to go to Norm’s again. I think I’ve seen some turkey teevee dinners that didn’t look to bad. If I get ambitious, I might stuff and roast a Cornish game hen and eat it with mashed potatoes and gravy.

I have two weeks off, so…

Gonna go ski for a couple of days - I hope. Planning on it anyway.

Xmas dinner with GFs family, work on the landscaping, work on my old car. Drink a few beers, relax, and not think about the office.
