Safe and Sound

Well, I made it in to Seattle safely and in a timely fashion yesterday, in spite of the best efforts of grandfather winter. However, after some rather hamfisted attempts to clean my ears out after the flight, I found that I had only lodged some earwax even further into my skull, and was unable to hear properly. Unable to dislodge these obstacles from my ears in the traditional fashion, I was forced to put my insurance company to work and go visit the doctor. As a result, this morning was spent with my brother in the waiting room of the local doctor's office. It must be noted that I have developed a new-found appreciation for him, and I think that he and I are actually getting close to one another (this is a new thing for us). At any rate, we have arrived at a cease-fire, and relations are best described as cordial. So yeah, that's really all I have to say besides merry Christmas, happy Hannukah, and all of that jazz. So yeah, there you have it. Be safe, and have a good vacation, dear reader.
