Back to the Frozen Tundra
I took the redeye out of LAX last night at 11:00 and got into Logan International in my hometown of Boston around 7:00 this morning. I always liked taking the red eye. I can sleep as much as I can on the flight itself and then still have the entire day in front of me when I land. If I leave in the morning, I'm usually wide awake the entire nonstop flight and then I've already lost half that day.
My mom got a new dog this past week and it's just freakin' adorable. Her name is Belle and she is way too cute. So cute that I feel the need to punch someone in the face just to maintain my manliness and offset her cuteness.
I also went over to see my grandfather at the nursing home. At first, I don't think he recognized me but as I moved closer, he smiled and grabbed my hand and arm in his vicelike grip. He wouldn't let go of me the entire visit and even though he didn't say anything, he didn't need to. The funny thing about him is when he feels the visit is over, he just pushes himself off in his wheelchair and slowly shuffles down the hall. That's it. Show's over. Nothing more to see here.
I plan on having a very chill week. I might do some writing, I'll definitely play with the puppy. I'll watch some TV (I've recently gotten addicted to SCRUBS) and movies, listen to my iPod (I HIGHLY recommend Colin Hay's Man@Work cd) and see some old friends. I'm looking forward to my week at home and I think it's going to be the recharge I need for the upcoming year. I've had a lot of forward momentum in December with a lot of projects so I'm really looking forward to carrying it into '07.
