Anyway, let me then give a quick recap. Katrina arrived safely home in Michigan about the same time that friends of ours came over to our house for New Year's Eve. We started by playing Apple-to-Apples. Then, the kids stayed home and had pizza, while the parents, and the adult-beverage-drinking-age Alex, went out to dinner. On returning home, we played Catan and Carcassonne and introduced some of our friends to the pilot episode of Firefly (which led one of them to borrow the series).
New Year's day started by my playing guitar (a bit groggily) at church, having a wonderful brunch made by Rob and Shawna, and then playing some more Catan before they headed off to go snowboarding and I started work on the aforementioned homework. I also set up my yearly resolution spreadsheet (found here: http://thelandoftheweird.weebly.com/resolutions.html).
Yesterday would have been a rather uneventful day had I not needed to replace the battery on the van and go to the dentist, where I discovered that I have a small cavity (which is getting filled tomorrow).
The main events for today included taking the trash, which has been accumulating for a few weeks, to the dump and finishing a video game other than Overwatch (the reboot of Ratchet and Clank).
I'm sure I missed some events, but that mostly catches us up. I might still do a recap of 2016 at some point in the future, but I'm more willing to move on with my posts from here.
