twenty-something

And so vacation season begins. I can't believe that next week is Christmas and Hanukkah starts soon after. 2005 is dunzo.

I'm off to Boston today through Sunday. Time for friends, gift shopping (which I haven't started, ugh), and Brokeback. It should be a special way to begin the holidays, especially since it's supposed to be warmer.

Monday I'm back to work for a few, and then it's off to tropical Rutland for the holiday weekend. I look forward to my grandmother's traditional Italian seafood feast on Christmas Eve. I do not look forward to more awkward "interactions" with my father.

And then from there I'm off to New York City for eight whole days with best bud Greg T -- 12/26 through 1/3. I haven't been since May, so I'm tres excited.

Safe travels to anybody else out there in transit over the next few weeks.
