…where jack sometimes does stuff, but mostly not

Happy belated holidays, and all that. I had planned to write earlier, but was distracted by the festive holiday stomach bug that we all fell prey to.

Actually, there has been something going around. At least 4 people were out of my office sick yesterday and today.

Anyway, now I’m feeling much better and can thoroughly enjoy the traditional application of this winter’s layer of blubber. ‘Tis the season to have too much food within easy reach, such as the four-pound bag of pistachios and the homemade caramels that my sister sent (thanks, Chrys!):

Mmm, not just homemade, but homemade and imported. I definitely need to start making people gifts instead of buying lame crap from stores.
