In case you’re interested I did the following (but not in this order):

• Went skiing
• Had drinks with friends (a few times)
• Hosted New Years Eve
• Played a lot of guitar
• Hosted friends for the weekend
• Helped teach someone to snowboard (keep in mind, I don’t snowboard)
• Opened gifts
• Ate a lot
• Cooked a lot
• Went out to dinner a few times
• Slept
• Played Madden 13 on both a Wii (which I know how to control) and an Xbox (which I don’t)
• Opened Champagne
• Harassed a 10 year old (It’s a long story)
• Ate chocolate covered pretzels and cashews
• Took pictures
• Danced to 70’s disco classics
• Entered a ‘dead pool’
• Sent out holiday cards a week too late
• Looked at work e-mail exactly 2 times

Things I didn’t do

• Watch TV – I did not watch a single TV show over the break
• Hurt myself skiing (which I do from time to time)
• Do any impulse shopping
• Look at FACEBOOK
• Read a book (which is unusual for me)
• Say “Boy, I wish I was at work today”
• Have a guitar lesson
• Go to the bagel store (which I do all the time)
• Go to the hardware store
• Fill up may car with gas

So that’s about it. I spent the past week doing a lot of nothing. Which is exactly what I needed. I’m looking forward to the new year.  Here’s to doing a lot of good stuff in 2013.

By the way – My new office has a view of the Empire State Building. I’ll post the view out my window from time to time.
