Nothing against 747's (in fact my favorite plane), but I am enjoying being home after two weeks abroad. Lindsay is even more fun than I remembered. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that she is "laughing (and kicking) for two." Maybe absence does have some positive externalities, but I don't even care that our heaters aren't working.I am thankful to be back in the pool and to swim with a lane that coordinated pacing and lead changes this morning so that I could completely space out for at least 3k of the 5k yards. And I am glad that my wing-person was also counting the laps I led...since I spaced out then too. (I had a really good Linkin Park song going.)
I am thankful that economists predict an increase in consumer spending this Holiday Season...and that I will not be participating in Black Friday. Though on the work front I am thankful that my team's role has grown in 2009. Now we just need to catch a draft off of that Holiday spending wave and ride it into 2010.
