I figured it was time to write something current. It’s been a blast (mostly for me) going back and posting some old blog entries from the early 2000’s. Life was sure different back then. I can’t believe how many times I wrote about going for wings and going to the movies with friends.
I still love to do all that stuff, it just looks different. Over the break we binged the last season of “Stranger Things” and I thouroughly enjoyed it. I have read the reviews from the haters and can admit there are some gaps but overall I was satisfied. People online complaining about the things that don’t make sense, like Max graduating despite missing 2 years of school in a coma. How the heck did Dipshit Derek fit through that little hole? – These same people could suspend reality when it came to poking a hole in another dimension and climbing through on a radio tower from the “Upside Down”. Have you seen Vecna? The ending was perfect in my opinion. I think 011 is dead only because they would never stop pursuing her if she lived and nobody wants to see the sequel when this cast turns 50. If I had to criticize anything it would be the way they force fed Wil’s sexuality. More specifically how it was his kryptonite, his deepest, darkest, secret that Vecna was using against him. Seemed really forced given the circumstances. But who knows, it was the 80’s.
We made it out to Cooks Creek for our annual gingerbread decorating with Larissa’s parents. Our kids are on the older side now but still love the tradition. We also didn’t host Christmas dinner for the first time since the kid were born. We went to Gerrie’s for a nice dinner and then had dinner with my family on Boxing Day. Both great visits.
NYE was also a little different. Grant’s had some other plans so it was just Morrison’s over. We did the usual Chinese food and World Juniors. The Jets played as well. It was nice to just chill and keep things low key.
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone, looking forward to an amazing 2026.
