ESB

Catching up on some old posts... This was the first year coming home from Boston for Christmas. I flew into Madison late Thursday night after Northwest Airlines missed my connection in Detroit while we sat on the runway for 45 mins. I see why they're still in bankruptcy... So it kind of ruined my plans to meet up with friends at the Brass Ring, but the diehards met me at Pooley's by the airport for some drinks & Rock Band later on.

The next morning it was on to my parent's house. I have to say it's quite festive returning home to small-town Wisconsin in December in the blowing snow. Since Kelly was in Peru for the holiday, I got to spend the entire vacation with the fam. As a Christmas should be, I gained 10 pounds drinking Egg Nog, watched the Packers kill the Lions, hurt my back shoveling the driveway, met up with ol' friends at Tilly's & Silvercryst, and left with great presents.

I definitely get a little homesick returning to Madison & Wautoma while having so much fun & relaxation, but it's time to go back & save for retirement. I'll be returning in June for a quick weekend in Sheboygan but will have to plan a weekend soon in Madison.
