Timelies all!
Gotta pack tonight, as we fly down to Florida tomorrow afternoon. It's the traditional visit with folks down there. I'll be pretty much dark, net-wise the whole time as my folks do not have wi-fi. Ah, well, there's books on my iPad, and I'm sure we can find something on cable. (Also, there's a movie theater less than a mile from my parents' place, and Gary and I haven't seen The Desolation of Smaug yet...)
I was off work today, and I don't go back until the 3rd. It's very nice.
Msbelle, I'm glad Mac has someone who gets what grief can be like.
Gracey sounds like an awesome cat.
Someone tried to set the base of a "Keep Saturn in Saturnalia" sign on fire. It didn't work. Possibly because the base was made of metal. [link]
My older brother got busted for a DUI while driving as part of his job. So he's fired, going to court, maybe to jail, no longer engaged, kicked out of his house, now living with our parents, which means he'll be around ALL the time when I visit. I think my visit is going to be very short. God. Fuck. Not just drinking on the job, not just drinking while driving, but apparently heavily intoxicated. Fuckfuckfuck you dumb fuck.
Sheryl, I hear ya on lack of parental wifi. It's why I stay with my sister...thoug now in the era of smartphones it's a little better.
Assuming we can ever get OFF this plane, I should make my connection ok even though we are an hour late. I forgot how many small children are traveling at the holidays. I like them one but dislike that they get to board ahead of everyone (even if I understand why) because there's so many of them now!!!
Ack, Juliebird. No, you're completely justified in making it a short visit, particularly if your parents are enabling.

Download an extra book! Just to be sure!
One of my holiday destinations lacks internet and I always feel like I have to really plan ahead. Though smart phones mean that email and such is always still right there.
So who just found $1400 of charges to a Public Storage in Atlanta on her credit card?
Ginger, did you steal my credit card and set up a secret lair?
Dana, have you been shopping at Target in the last couple of months? They just announced they'd lost data for 40 MILLION credit/debit cards.
