What will you be doing over the next three weeks (different from what you do
the rest of the year). Don't count shovelling snow.

Going home, visiting family. Probably going to spend a week with my
brother, sister, and uncle at said uncle's apartment in Tampa.

Doing a Gospel show at Music Hall in Detroit for the next two days, then
Nutcracker at Power center all next week. The week after that I hope to
get my flat in order. First week of the new year, Pilobolus (a modern
dance company) at Power Center with the Klezmatics (a Klezmer group).

I'm visiting family this weekend, as well as taking a shopping trip up
Yonge street. Next friday, the maternal family gets together in Ypsi.
I will be working a lot.

Lots of performances, lots of food, and some actual time off work.

We're having my family over for Christmas Eve--24 people in all. It would have
been 31, but one of my sisters and her family are not going to be able to come.

Not a lot, actually. I'll be going to work next week, Christmas week, and the
week after that... Cleaning house. That's pretty much it. No family in the
area save for the kids and Bruce, and Rhiannon's working retail, which means
she'll be too busy to do ANYTHING.

Clean my house, mainly...
Dinner with parents, brother, sis-in-law, nephew and a handful of other
relatives on the Friday before (Lasagna, aw yeah!). Dinner with parents
Christmas eve, will spend night at their place since it's depressing as
hell to wake up in an empty house Christmas morning.

Again, no events in my family for Christmas Eve, and now
nothing planned for Christmas Day. One sister is going thru a
divorce, the other did her obligation on Thanksgiving. Sigh.

Tim, have you thought of hosting a family get together for your sisters?
Even if you don't want to cook, there are ways to acquire a cooked meal.
Jim's sister is expecting us for dinner Christmas Day. We will be bringing
her a computer upgrade. Jim hates to go empty handed and they don't want our
cooking, but they do cook lots of vegetables for us. Nice people. He also
likes it if they find him some plumbing or wiring to fix. Warren. Actually
I think it is his younger niece hosting the party in her house, which she has
bought and done lots of work on herself.

At home for now, next week going to Atlanta to see Cirque Du
Soleils "Dralion" with my sister and family. (My birthday present from
her. <bouncebounce>) Then we'll go to St. Petersburgh Fl, for a day or
two, then to Merritt Island/Cape Kennedy (Where the NASA stuff is) to
spend several other days with family and celebrate Christmas. Then back
to Ohio and to Michigan in time for the Great Lakes Invitational at the
Joe the last weekend in December. (Eric, are you going to the GLI?)
Tonight it's cookie night for mum and I. And lots of sleep.

No, I'm not going to the GLI because I'll be in Tampa that week. Have
fun. (I'd like to see Michigan win, but I would not be too disapointed
if MSU or MTU won, because it would mean that BC did not win. Death to
BC)

Well, Going to the parental unit's home for Christmas, leaving probably
Sunday and returning Wednesday or so. A friend is trying to talk me
into going to Chicago for New Years, but I don't know if that will work
out. Would be wonderful if it did.

We'll be starting Christmas at home, then will go over to my wife's
parents for an hour or two, then to my parents for the rest of the day.
The kids will be opening presents all day.
Then my stepson will be going to his father's house a couple of days
later, and his father's parents, his father's girlfriend's, her parents,
and maybe other places; I don't know exactly.

I have no clue. I had the possibility to go to my soon to be step-mother's
in Alabama for christmas, but I can't get the time off now. NO chance of
that. Now I have to work the day after christmas. So I can't even go to a
friend's house, unless I drive back on Christmas day from the other side of
the state. That is if I'm not obligated to dog sit while my father and his
woman go to Alabama, making me commute Thursday through next wednesday from
Livonia rather than Ypsi.
Christmas sucks. Bah Humbug.

I think we are going nowhere as it does not seem worth removing snow from the
car and 25' of driveway, plus the pile the snowplow left. We will wait for
it to melt and go in March instead. I look forward to a few days of the phone
not ringing and the fax machine being quiet, when I can maybe clean the
kitchen and find a lost library book.

out. No special plans for the 25th.
