That's a lot more effort (and dishes) than I am willing to go through for leftovers, honestly. I also am quite fond of potato cakes anyway.

We go see lights, of course, but always include the reindeer at the James Center where I proposed to my wife. Right next to one’s ass.

She’s stuck with the kids in this rain today and I’m at work. Hate it when it works out that way.

I had dreams of doing all the yard work I had to put off yesterday

Just went to the holiday model train exhibit at the Science Museum today (I think today is the last day). Amazing for kids and adults alike, tons of cool panoramas. Went early in the morning and now it’s pretty crowded, but totally worth it. Especially on this rainy day!

Damn soccer hooligans!

One of my favorite Christmases was spent on an island in Belize.

The pillow aisles haunt me to this day.

I’m so sorry, that sounds like a lot to process. I hope your holiday season ends up still having some good vibes this year.

Shucks, friend. I almost forgot about it too and my first thought was “wonder if it’s worthy of revisiting?” It totally is worth it. That check out lane was OG cell phone snake game.

> The 804 covers all of the Richmond region, from Petersburg to King William, plus, inexplicably, the Northern Neck.

Did the author not look at the map she linked? Not only does 804 go past King William, it is also pretty understandable why it covers the Northern Neck. Very strange editorializing.

Yeah, this year my partner and I just said “Let’s not do Christmas.” So we’re going on vacation over the holidays instead. It’ll be nice to just mail off some presents and not worry about anything else.

Thank you for this! I didn't know much about the tour. I somehow thought it was like one big strip but I see there are several locations. Picking the ones closest sounds like the way to go.

RTD has a list / map of a lot of them in the area.

We did it a few years ago and just picked the ones closest to us to drive around. It was fun! We've been out of town the last two years, but we'll be here this year so we plan to do it again.

Yep the holidays get a lot tougher with age - I am always relieved when January comes around. Dreary? Yes! But at least the holidays are over. My family is historically dysfunctional and now we’ve settled into meeting up for holidays but don’t interact the rest of the year. Also have the same issue with unpleasant memories. Hanging with friends is def the way to go. Tuk tuk tour with neighbors sounds fun.

There used to be a holiday spectacular showcase at the Byrd. I made it twice and then it stopped. 10/10 would go every year if it was still around.

TIL there's actually someone still paying attention to COVID numbers

A couple months ago I thought I was losing my balance / equilibrium. It was the bridge swaying. My wife felt it too. We’re on it all the time as we walk from our house in Woodland Heights and this was the first time we felt it sway to that degree.

You’re a troop lol I don’t even wanna walk to the car 😂😂

👏👏👏

Thankfully it wasn’t too bad. Mostly head congestion, sore throat and low grade fever. It was only 1 day that I stayed in bed.

Thank you!

First time?
