Mom has been taking good care of me around the house. Haven’t done a thing since I’ve been in town. Hung out with my little sister Leah a bit and shot the shit with Bry Aleshire over lunch. Dad got in from his tri-weekly foray down to Detroit last night. We exchanged our usual lot of hugs, claims and threats over supper. As always, it is extremely pleasant to hang around the parents.

I’m itchin’ to get back to my list of duties in the mag. Chief’s got a healthy pile for me and I’m excited to do some designing in February. So I’m gonna lay low the next couple days, enjoying the family life. Then I’m down to Chicago to catch a flight out to the land of plenty, and, electrical blackouts.
