Happy 2008!

I have been enjoying my vacation, although perhaps a little too much. I intended to get some work done, and work on some projects around the house. Neither has happened, but I suppose that isn't a bad thing. The time off has been great. I have managed to catch up with friends, hang out, relax, and generally have a low-stress week.

We got a fair amount of snow here on New Year's Eve. The official measurement for Ann Arbor was ten inches, and I think that's pretty close to what I got at my house. I spent about an hour and half shoveling on New Year's Day. Despite the snow, life in Ann Arbor quickly resumed its normal course, unlike DC where everything would still be shut down.
