tracker7I think I slept close to ten hours every day I was in Liberty. And it was wonderful.
Mom&Dad, Dad especially, loved the little tablets. Dad took to his like a duck to water, although neither seemed to want to use any of the money I put into a shared account for them. Hopefully that will change soon.
Caught up with Ben&Rebecca over the break. Talked shop with Rebecca - the CDC's got her doing health education in Marysville.
I had some problems with The Force Awakens, but the things the movie did right, it did so well that I can forgive the failures. I loved the new characters - Rey, Poe, Finn, Hux. Kylo Ren's no Vader, but he's sufficiently villainous.
UofL beat Texas A&M in the Music City Bowl, 27-21. TAMU only seemed to get into the game in the second half, and the last four minutes of the game were tense. Louisville's freshman quarterback threw for 200+ yards and ran for same, making himself responsible for all of UofL's scoring. Dude had a hell of a game.
Didn't do much of anything for New Year's Eve. Started out going to The Back Door with some of the cohort, only to find my favorite watering hole closed for the night. We headed out to St. Matthews to watch Alabama vs. Michigan State, which was only a good game if you're an Alabama fan. Got home early, read, went to bed and was out a few minutes after midnight.

I thought Kylo Ren was great *because* he's no Vader.
