This was the first time I went back to norcal and felt like I was visiting rather than being home. It’s kind of a weird feeling actually. But I guess it’s one that everyone has to face sooner or later. Anyway, it was a good break. Lots of food, beer, and time spent with friends. We even played scrabble! Twice! woohoo! Anyway, should be a fun upcoming three weeks before Christmas. I swear, I feel like I’ve only been in the office about half the time this Milestone between vacations, storms, classes, and recruiting trips. Oh well, if there was ever a good time to take time off, it’s now.
On a side note, I never really thought about how my parents relationship works, but after observing over the past few days and giving it some thought, what I think it really revolves around is that they intellectually challenge each other. I found that kind of interesting – not that that’s unheard of, but I think it’s definitely uncommon compared to other things like personality or humor or looks. It’s kind of cool, and it made me wonder what it’ll end up being for me, because I see a lot of my dad in myself as I grow older. Or maybe it’s foolish to put a label on something as THE thing that makes a relationship work. I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get there, heh.
