Sunday Morning
Well, it's another dreary morning here in Manchester, but it is so good to be home.
It has been a bit of a whirlwind since Christmas and the "Dallas Debacle". After I got home on New Year's Day (after originally planning on being home 6 days earlier), it was off to Ossipee, New Hampshire on Tuesday January 2nd, to support our "Go-Live" efforts there of bringing the plant up on Oracle. I got home on Friday January 5th, then Janice got home from Dallas the evening of Saturday, January 6th, and then I had to head back up to Ossipee on Monday morning January 8th and got home Friday the 12th.
I'm working in the office at Corporate tomorrow, then heading back up to Ossipee from Tuesday the 16th through hopefully Thursday the 18th (just in time for celebrating what would be Mom's 84th birthday ... hard to believe, and I wonder how she'd be now).
Anyway, it's good to be home here ... I just don't know whether I'm coming or going.
As always, I'm following the NFL playoffs closely - it's that magical time of the year. I don't think I mentioned this before, but being the commissioner of the Lyd@ll Football League (LFL), I am proud to announce I have become the first 4-time Champion of the LFL. I did it in true underdog fashion. Going into the last 3 games, I had to win all three to take the championship. I was playing the last three against the league leader, who had the strongest team. I put together that three-game streak and won it all. The trophy (which is a bit of a joke) is nice, but the $125 prize money is even nicer.
We still have our Christmas decorations up ... I actually turned them on last night. Our neighbors must think we're hicks. Oh well. Considering we didn't get them put up until the week before Christmas, I think we're allowed some leeway.
You all should be here. I made some home-made whole wheat bread in our breadmaker yesterday, then Janice and I made a big ole pot of beef stew last night. In this damp chilly weather, it was just what the doctor ordered. I can't wait to have some more of it for lunch.
Last But Not Least
I would like to announce that Friday, January 19th, is my official "Quit Day". I've gone on a new medication called "Chantix" and started the meds this past Friday evening. From all I've read and heard, this new medication is having pretty good results. It's a 12-week program.
I'm tired of smoking, and after having researched Joyce's condition, I don't want to get to that point.
Wish me luck!
