I am back at work after a nice long (well, a week and a half, but it had the right balance of doing stuff and hanging around that it felt longer) vacation that was spent mostly at my parents' house, but also had a couple of days where I came back to work to do work. Here are the highlights:

• We had Christmas
• I went to work twice.
• I had a dream that I went to a basketball game, but one team didn't show up so Barack Obama (who happened to be in the audience) went out and started throwing from the 3-point line. He was making all his shots.
• The following night I had a dream that I was being chased by airport security because I was carrying a walkman and a piece of wire around with me. They were worried about this because of some video on YouTube where an old guy with long gray hair used the walkman and wire together to take control of somebody else's RC airplane. I threw out my wire in case he caught up with me (which he eventually did), since it wasn't worth much, anyway.
• Dawne came to visit and brought all 4 kids and the dog.
• We went sledding a couple times.
• We build a 4-entrance snow fort at the corner of Paul and Annen.
• We went to watch a YC curling game and ate a lot of popcorn.
• Fizz and I worked on Junko some more. I made some cool places in Asteroid and he worked on some secrets in Planet and Base.
• I proofread 89 pages of YC's paper.
• Fizz and Joh and I played TA, and I think I won, but really it ended in sort of a stalemate where I just happened to control most of the map.

I thought there might be something else I wanted to write about but can't remember what it might've been.
