Well, it’s Dec 29th and I’m getting ready to head back to good ol’ Chicago.

Christmas was, of course, very nice. Santa was good to me this year (He has to be…I have some photos in my possession that he’d rather not be made public).

After Christmas I went to Indy w/ Doug, Jana, and Sterling for a few days. That’s where I am now. And despite many arguments as to why I should stay in Indy for New Years…Chicago is calling me home.

While here in Indy, Sterling graduated from her puppy obedience class this weekend. But despite the diploma, she has entered into a sort of puppy-adolescence and can be quite a pain when she wants to be. Still, she is her adorable and lovable self albeit a much larger version than the one I keep remembering.

In truth, she was a perfect little angel for the holiday at Mom and Dad’s house. She didn’t get into any packages or anything. She does have this belief however that any bow that she can see is her toy. This is, without question, Doug an Jana’s fault for letting her play with one in the first place. But - like the good little puppy she is - a good “No No Sterling” and she get’s the point.

I’d gladly stay and puppy-sit for a day or two longer but I need to get home.

Besides, the new year is upon us! Time for resolutions and the shame-filled accounting of all the time we waisted this year. I haven’t got all my resolutions in stone yet. I’ll maybe post some of them…maybe.

In the meantime, I’m working on a few more features to the davidmeade.com database system. When I get them all done and working it will be a major leap forward. But it’s slow going. So…if you find anything is broken please be forgiving…but do email me and let me know.

Until next time…
