Joys of holiday travel

Well its been awhile huh. I could lie and say I have been busy, but apart from the go live that went smoother than anything I have ever done in the past, I haven't really been doing anything... Not true, I have been heavily investing in my mage persona in world of warcraft...>.<

I poke fun at people who play sims and are so enamoured with that game where they are essentially building a social network and life for what? If you invested half as much time in your own life as you do in the game I am sure you would find it improving too. But anyways, holiday travel, what a treat... I went home to montreal this past weekend, left on turkey day eve, came back on sunday... They say that the day before thabksgiving is the single busiest travel day of the year. I believe them now. The trains from ny penn station were sardine cans... The line to buy a ticket for a train was easily 2 hrs long... Luckily I'm a rebel.... Don't tell the sheep standing in line, but you can buy a ticket on the train!! Skipped the ridiculously long line and withing 6 minutes of entering the station I was on a train headed to the airport, good start to the weekend!

Spent four awesome days with jenn and the boys. Went to the "bugtarium" to check out all manner of creepy crawlies. We promised the kids several outings this summer, but as usually happens summer got away from me and we didn't do most of them. But we are going to disney so hopefully that will make up for it. I try and avoid making promises unless I know I can keep them. That way the boys know where they stand. Yes means definately, maybe means no, no means I can't believe you even asked...;)

Even though things are a little weird right now in our living arrangements I still feel incredibly lucky to not only be married to the most amazing woman on the planet, and have three of the best boys I've ever met, but I am also working for a pretty cool lady too, who gets that this is a strain and sticks her neck out in these financially tenuous times to fly my sorry can home so I can be with my family.

So even though I almost never show it, I do appreciate it, comes from being a guy...
