This is the first year in a long time that I think the Star Wars franchise didn't play a big role at Christmas.
It'll come around again, I have no fear.
The 3-D movies are coming.

Best way to watch a football game. DVR, then fast forward all the huddles and time-outs. You don't miss anything but lame commentary, and the game goes whizzing by....

Peace and quiet is probably not something any storekeeper should ever wish for -- but it's kind of nice to come to a quiet and peaceful store after the holiday rush.
**********
I ordered 219 copies of Batgirl #5, instead of the 19 or 21 copies I thought I was ordering.
I think I can return them, but they make it a little difficult, so I'm not looking forward to it. On the other hand, having 600.00 (retail) of extra Batgirls isn't my idea of fun, either.
**********
I'm going to dive into writing tomorrow, and not re-emerge until I've finished the second draft. I've warned Linda I'll be distracted. That I may skip a lot of T.V. shows, and so on. I took most of December off, which was dangerous, but I don't think I had much choice.
So a whole lot of these blog entries will probably be about writing for awhile.
***********
Finally, I think I'll just say I don't know what to think about the "privatization" of the county public works.
It feels like a bad idea. Rife with the possibilities of corruption.
My general sense is to ask -- is this with 'standard practices' for local government? I would think we'd be best off, usually, doing what the general tradition is. (I know, this sounds funny from a guy who tends to reject 'standard practices' when it comes to small business -- but if I'm wrong, it only hurts me.)
I'll leave this discussion open for those who know more about this than me.
It'll come around again, I have no fear.
