Past couple weeks

I visited Karen, John, and James and met the rest of my family in KC for Thanksgiving. Once again, I was able to visit on less than 2 hours of sleep like I did when coming for the Alice in Chains show a month earlier. The trip was fine with little traffic, but there were some cops here and there.
It was a great dinner and visit with everyone challenging each other on how desert could eat within the the two day visit. I think there were a few people who tied at the end. Also fun watching John open a beer, fall asleep, and then wake up to drink the disgusting warm beer.
I was also able to avoid setting an alarm clock. Eventually, the kids will remember there are toys in the room I was sleeping in. If not, then my siblings will remind them I was still sleeping and needed a wake up call.
The trip home was good also. The kids behaved and Neil had a few moments of going to stir crazy but we were stopping in the near future anyways. Sammy was good. I think Dave and Jamie have gotten lucky with having kids less than 6 months old travel well. Sammy's trip wasn't as a big test compared to the trip to New York during a snow storm.
I am now up to over 5000 songs on my iPod and only have a little over 3G available for additional songs before having to pick and choose which songs will remain.
I might be getting New Year's Eve off. My boss is not sure what we will be doing for the holiday as of yet. We are working the Saturday between Christmas and New Year's, and it would make sense not to start machines for less than a day while being down the day before and after, but we will see when the holidays come closer.
That's all I got.
