I just realized that it’s been about three weeks since my last post here. D’oh.
Well, first up, the other tooth I chipped this year only needed a new, expanded filling (converting another one to ceramic format from the old silver amalgum). That was cool, if not a bit tiring.
Spent the following week on vacation, finishing with a trip to my father’s house in MO. Very nice to see him again, but huge note to self for next time – Don’t take Chicago as the connecting city in the winter! :/ American only has that city and Dallas I think for the connection hubs, so I may consider taking my next trip via DFW, but going there a couple days earlier to visit other family members in the area. I’ve apparently gained *another* week’s vacation next year (the perks of over 11 years of service in one company), so I have the means to do it if I want to.
This past week has been ‘normal’ I suppose, if you count it being the very last week before x-mas. Gah, hectic does not begin to describe it – in particular living so close to the NYC region. I’ll be doing the local family visit this evening, since I have to goto work Monday night.
Of course, last week (for those not reading on MystBlogs and/or UruBlogs) has also been the migration to Open Beta on Uru Live, as well as the moving of the ‘story’ from D’mala to the new MOUL server group. I won’t go into detail about that here, since I’ve got another (IC) weblog for that. I’m still debating if the eventual ‘common’ visitor to the new Cavern will be the old ‘T_S_Kimball’ account, or if ‘Alan Kiesler’ becomes my new presence. I suppose that will depend on what the percentage of Second Life migrants will be, and if they recognize me in the old name. I’ll cross that bridge eventually; Right now both are occasional visitors, and have somewhat differing views on things below.
And now, here we are, the last week of 2006. I’m looking forward to New Years and a really interesting 2007, and hope you’ll have one too. :-)
