As is typical for this time of year, my company is getting ready to put out the next major update of software. My job is to update the 1500+ page basic tutorial, update a few hundred pages of "advanced" self-study guides, provide some advanced "sample" files demonstrating new features, create an online course and test for the freelance trainers, and plan the following year's workshops. Typically these tasks take me until the end of January and usually require me to work 12-14 hour days.
As of this afternoon, I'm done. Well, except for entering corrections my proofers find. Which might take a couple of hours. Tops.
Whistling.
Twiddling my thumbs.
Looks like, aside from answering email and monitoring the various court reporting forums, my company's going to be paying me to play with my dogs for a few weeks.
Life is good.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Get your fill of the dogs, come up here for some whisky, go back to the dogs. And G-Man. That'll burn a few days.

If we can keep Greg's parents from being offended by us choosing to stay at a hotel instead of their house (my back won't survive any of the available beds), then perhaps we can arrange a Christmas whisky. Or breakfast. Either would be great.
If that doesn't work out, looks like I'll be back up in the Burlingame area for a workshop in May of next year.

if G-Man's family is insulted, it will be a great excuse to spend zero time with them. Win/win.

Oooooooooh. :tonqe:
They're here now, staying the night on their way to Palm Springs. His mother asked if we were coming, he said it depended on whether he could get a hotel. His mother did not seem amenable to the concept. (Or at least that's what it sounded like from the kitchen where I was hiding - er - making dinner.)

I see how it is.
PPFY can't make a DOOM gathering, but pours copiously for tq.
So much for brotherhood.

We could all show up at the new Yeti cave together. It could be a Doom gathering/house warming.

Besides, from one DOOM bro who has lived with PPFY to another DOOM bro, you know as well as I do that it's not good to catch PPFY in his tighty-whiteys.
God.
I need more therapy.

I wasn't planning on going there when the Yeti was inflagrante. But didn't you already have that mishap . . . . ?

If by "therapy" you mean "whisky" then I think I can help. You should all come by the new and improved "Yeti Cave" (which has been named "Fort Awesome") for whisky and gawking at the large TV that my roomie has.
FWIW, I am now mobile again after 3 months of public transport courtesy of the broken wrist from my accident. New (to me) motorcycle acquired Sunday. It is a sportbike and entirely too fast for me. I still won't make any DOOM Gatherings ™ but not for a lack of transport.

...but there's whiskey. Good whiskey. That changes everything.
Did I hear right? Is the Yeti offering Fort Awesome up for a DOOM gathering?

How can you not make it to a Doom gathering especially if it is at Fort Awesome? We'll be arriving the 24th and leaving the 28th. Plan accordingly.

Great! Let yourselves in and make yourselves at home; I'll be working. Let me know how it was.
