susandennisFor some reason I can't put my finger on, I'm not that interested in hitting the pool today. I don't have anything else going on and no reason not to go. I've still got an hour an a half to decide and I'm guessing at the end of that time, I'll be suited up and pool bound.
The only other thing on the agenda today is birthday dinner with neighbors Ann and Ron. It's his birthday and we're off to one of my very favorite restaurants in town - a French place. This will be the third year I've done this with them - his birthday at this restaurant. It's rather a treat for me. He drives so I drink. And the food is always wonderful. We go rather early (6ish) which suits me fine.
I got all caught up with Downton and now it's on to Leverage (which I just read is cancelled... sigh) and Burn Notice and some others I have stacking up on TiVo. January will bring new seasons of some favorites. The Roku us working out really really well. It's so snappy and non-tempermental. I think I'm going to cancel HBO today and Netflix after Christmas. I already pay for Amazon Prime and their Prime Instant Streaming has a lot of content now and Roku makes it fun to watch.
My 'Christmas' is CES. I get to spend quality time with my brother - just the two of us wallowing in cool tech stuff. There's a chance he will bail (work, wife, something might happen) but even if he does there's still the wallowing in cool tech stuff. I went by myself last year. It was ok but I said I wouldn't do that again and I lied. If something happens that prevents my brother from going, I'll go and enjoy the heck out of myself.
I even have my little Take To CES pile started.
