Packin’ It In

Ok. That’s it. I’m done for the year now. I don’t have to be back at work until January 4, 2005.
At some point tomorrow I’ll pack up the dog and head for East Texas. I should return around Tuesday, but I don’t know if I’ll have anything more to say on this weblog until after New Year. I guess it’ll depend on whether something irritates me enough or not.
This is an interesting time of the year for an agnostic. While I’m not a believer, I suppose the secular aspects of Christmas as it manifests itself in our society still appeal to me. And despite the religious theme, I like a lot of traditional Christmas music.
Anyway, I’m not above wishing all of you who are reading this a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I’ll leave you with these thoughts on the season from some character called Foamy, whom I discovered at Cinomed’s Tower.

Happy non-denominational holiday! (As we say at work.)
Thoman Henry Huxley, the inventor of the word “agnostic” kept the traditional holidays in his household. So I think it’s OK for you to do so as well.
What irritates me is when I say something like “Baa humbug” people drool about “Don’t feel happy this time of year?”
No.
In point of fact I am not alone in this. This is by far the worst time of year whe it comes to suicide for example.
Actually it’s my normal life that makes me happy. The whole “holiday season” tends to mess up me being ablt to carry out my normal life. It makes existing more work. So what’s to like?
OTOC (On-the-other-claw) I am a believer in the dictum, “Any excuse for a party.”
So what the hell.
Merry Christmas everybody.
Hey Aubrey, Happy New Year! Have had a blast reading you this year.
Thanks everyone for the kind wishes.
