Time for Thanks and Vice Versa
Lots to give thanks for this year! I was really glad that Julie was able to join me for the whole vacation this time, and it was a welcome break. We relaxed, drank a lot of fresh-brewed coffee, and spent lots of time with family and friends. The travel was pretty uneventful, save for an annoying hour-long delay mere moments out of Cleveland on the train there. The only bad bit was a minor pulled muscle (from the previous week) that turned into a major pain in the neck, so modern medicine was another thing for which I was quite immediately thankful.
I have a new pair of shoes. I've been wearing the New Balance Minimus Trail MT20 for a while now, but found that while the shoes are incredibly comfortable, they have some serious durability issues. After my first pair wore out in three months, I bought the MT20v2, in hopes they would have fixed the problem. That pair also only lasted three months. I contacted New Balance and they offered me a free pair of MT1010 in exchange for the worn out shoes. I got those today, and they seem all right, I'll see if they hold up better than the last.
Also, Ghost Trick is a pretty great game. The puzzles aren't that mind-bending, but it's clever, and the mystery (about a time-traveling ghost trying to solve the mystery of his own murder by averting other people's deaths) is well-told.
