Dec 2011

when everyone else is doing the Holiday thing indoors. For example, it's a great time to be out on a road bike. The streets are empty, and you have the trails to yourself. Of course I live where it's warm. But I've enjoyed a movie or two when the theatres are empty. I LIKE that.

But job related? That's crap. A former employer once made us stand around and sing Xmas songs. Sorry, I'm not religious. And those gift exchanges limited to less than $10.00, why do they do that? Everyone buys some junk at the Dollar Store.

And taking the time off to hike somewhere sounds great. What a relief.
