Well, I guess today contained our last scheduled Christmas break activities. It was fun having lunch with Uncle Bill today. He’s doing well. I’ll tell you, though, I wish that whole “urban renewal” concept would hit Birmingham. In Hoover (where Bill lives) and a few other suburbs, there are earth-movers and cranes everywhere, even now—while Birmingham itself seems to get a little dirtier, emptier, and scarier each year.
After we got back, we picked up my dear mother-in-law and went to the Galaxy of Lights at the Huntsville Botanical Garden, and closed out the evening with a steak at Lone Star.
Tomorrow morning, I have to fix the washer. I think there’s a 90+% chance it needs the same motor coupling I replaced three years ago.
Tonight, it’s a bit more Gears of War 2 before bed.
