As usual, drove up to NoVa to spend Christmas with the family. Nuke’s parents went to the Left Coast for the Holidays so he drove up with me.
Had a good time.
Got there Christmas Eve and had dinner (again, as usual) at a Chinese restaurant.
Christmas Day - my sister made a traditional English Christmas Dinner – roast beef, roast vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, etc. It was great.
It snowed in North Carolina during the weekend so we delayed our drive back by one day. Went out to Warrenton Virginia to spend the evening with my brother (CA) and sister-in-law (BA). Had a great time there too.
The next day we headed back to the Greater Moncure Metro Area.
CA and BA also had other guests while we were there. A friend of theirs and his 7 year old son. The kid, LD, had a remote control helicopter. That thing was a blast to play with.
The next day after I got home, I went by Best Buy. They were sold out and wouldn’t get anymore in for a couple of weeks. I ordered one online.
Football
State played West Virginia in the Citrus Bowl.
What a great, well played game. State won 23 to 7. This is going to sound contradictory, but the game was played much closer than the score. And (here’s the contradiction) – State should have won by an even higher score. Both teams moved the ball well but both defenses made huge stops to prevent touchdowns. State’s defense was just better than West Virginia’s.
It's a good day to be a Wolfpack Fan.
Unfortunately, I’ve picked up a head cold – again. Dammit.
