As the decade ends, I should make some sort of summary. For me, this one is easy. I started the decade an LA-based single guy. I met Gabi in April 2000. At the end of the decade, I’m in the Southern California suburbs with four kids and a dog. Simple story, simple conclusions.
I hope the next decade is equally simple and successful. See you all on the other side!

Woo hoo! I just found out that I won the football pool this week! With our Holiday Feast, we were very late watching the football games, finishing Sunday Night Football on Tuesday afternoon and Monday Night Football Tuesday evening. My low point choice for Minnesota and high point choice for Houston did it for me. One more week!
Both of them are about one minute long.
8am. Time to Cook the Bird!
The 19 lbs turkey is in the oven, fully stuffed with Gabi’s cranberry-apple stuffing.
Our health insurance bill is up only 11% this year.
At that rate, our healthy family annual outlay will now be $15,420. Cash.

Monday, December 28 will be our Holiday Feast. In many ways, it will be similar to our Thanksgiving celebration. Turkey, stuffing, numerous side dishes. Dang, it will be good! (more…)
Sorry not to post more. We’re still winding down from Christmas. Giant dinosaurs, fighting robots, games, books … We’ll be back on an even keel sometime before New Years’.

It took until 1:30pm, but with final shopping, cleaning and picking up done, we are ready to open our one gift on Christmas Eve. It’s a train set (courtesy of Aunt Cally and Santa). A major hit!
