Christmas Day '05

It was a long christmas day this year, and also another day off the bike. We were up before dawn to exchange presents before The Wife and I drove up to Baton Rouge to visit the mother-in-law. A large part of or visit consisted of driving aimlessly around Baton Rouge during the day looking at christmas decorations. There were a few times when I swear I was about to fall asleep at the wheel from sheer boredom. It also consumes a lot of energy dealing with someone with early Alzheimer's disease. Although traffic was very light when we drove there in the morning, by the time we headed back around noon, it was much heavier. It also seemed that the average speed was around 85 mph. After our big christmas lunch with the family, which didn't happen until around 2 p.m. this year, we watched a dvd movie and finally got back home in time for Joey D and Kelly to stop by. We had a real nice visit, and finally called it a day around 10:30 p.m.

It looks like tomorrow will be pretty cold, but since I have the day off I'll probably wait until the sun comes up to go for a ride.
