So they killed Sadam...
What was the point really? I'm sure it made some people feel good. But did it solve anything? Of course not. I guess they just didn't know what else to do with him. Iraq is still much worse off than when he was in power. Maybe they should have let him solve this whole civil war problem. It sure would have been interesting to see what would have happened if he was put back in charge.

Today was my last day of work! It was pretty boring actually. There were some more packaging revisions to do, but not much else. Typical.
After work, I picked up Emily and went out for drinks with some of my ex-coworkers. We sat around for about an hour, then Emily dropped me off at home. We have only one car now (Emily sold her's back to Carmax). I don't understand how people can live without a car or even sharing a car! It makes everything so much more difficult. For example, tonight I wanted to go to the store. So I changed clothes, pulled my bike out of the backyard, hopped on, and went nowhere. The tires were almost flat. Everything has been taking much longer than it should this week. We have to coordinate our schedule a day in advance. I can't even imagine how we would get anything done if we didn't have at least one car.

Emily and I spent the holidays in Dallas with her family. It was great. I love Emily's family.
We got in on Sunday (the 24th). Sarah, Kat and Jenny were already there. Rebbecca and Todd came a short time later. Emily and I assembled lasagna, while everyone else set the table and made the rest of the meal. It turned out wonderfully, of course.
On Christmas day, we went to Church. Afterward, Emily's dad asked the priest to bless our upcoming trip to Sudan. He said that he wouldn't bless me because I'm a "dirty Jew". Well, he left out the "dirty" part, but it was still rude. The rest of the day was spent playing 80's Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble. Dinner was Wally's traditional Roast Beast. Again everyone helped cook and the food was great!
Tuesday I went to the mall with Sara and Emily. As you can imagine, it was packed. The crowd annoyed the crap out of me (going to the mall is bad enough without all of the people). We spent a few hours there before watching the movie "The Good Shepherd". I couldn't stay awake for the first 45 minutes (because I was tired, not because it was bad), but I was interested once I woke up.
Almost everyone had already gone home, but we had dinner with Wally, Kathy, Sara, and Rob. Wednesday morning we flew home.

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
