grandpease grandpease the vault december 2008 There went December Posted Saturday, December 2o, 2008 No we didn’t quit on the blog. I’m just a loser. Tiff wasn’t joking: I am thoroughly addicted to Bethesda Softworks’ Fallout 3. It’s a video game, a nuisance or a way of life depending on who you talk to. It’s a whole world to explore from 1:30-4 p.m., which leaves little time for the blog (or doing dozens of other productive, educational or physical activities). Did I say that I’m a loser yet? I am. I have left the house, however, and the both of us have done quite a bit this month. Our friend Tim Ball came to visit for a weekend, which led to lots of laughs and an odd meeting with a politician named Hennessy, who, as Tiff said, talked like Keanu Reeves. Tiff took a week off to work on her mom’s website, and I squeezed an extra day off during that week so that we could go see Oasis.   We spent a weekend in Santa Cruz eating burritos on the beach and chopping down our Christmas tree in the hills.         We ate grasshoppers for lunch.  We’ve been out on the links.   ... and despite this moment of frustration Tiff has really improved.   We soaked in some holiday spirit with a weekend in San Francisco.      ...which included a stop at the Museum of Modern Art (those are poodles staring at a baby... and you thought I was weird for playing a game).  On top of everything else, Tiff’s Rav4 finally kicked the bucket, so we welcomed the GTI to the family. Merry Christmas to us.   That pretty much sums it up. Happy holidays everyone! I’ll post again in about a month (kidding... I think :) -cmg
