It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Post-Christmas

Well, the brisket came out well.  The weather cooperated so it didn't take an extra 5 hours to get it done.  I made a killer sauce to go with it.  The kids were a lot of fun.  Wife was civil.  For the most part.

I got my Kindle.  It's great for reading on public transportation.  Lightweight, and it carries a big library.  I love it already.  Oddly enough, they've cleaned up my part of town in the last couple decades.  No hookers, no dealers, not even more than a couple of homeless drunks.

Fortunately, they live far enough away that the trip home took almost the whole evening.  By the time I got home, there was only a couple of hours left to notice that I was all alone on Christmas.
