Wow, I'm going to have to stop and catch my breath.  It's been crazy this month with all the holiday parties.  Let's see what I did, this week alone.  Monday was the SQL Server UG meeting.  Tuesday was the company Christmas party.  Wednesday was the VB.Net UG meeting.  Thursday I met a friend from college for dinner (but if I hadn't been there I would have been at the Geek Dinner).  Friday I went with friends from work to dinner and a hockey game.  Saturday I went to Brendon's for a party.  Sunday (tonight) I went to an old high school friend's for a party.  I've had more food and more alcohol this week than I can shake a stick at.  I don't exactly know what that saying means, I can shake a stick at an awful lot of stuff, but I think it still applies.

Next week I've got the Mobility UG presentation on Monday, dinner with my ex and other friends on Wednesday, drinks with a friend on Thursday, and Christmas with other friends all day on Saturday.  And for New Years I might be driving all the way out to Dawsonville for a new-years party Brendon's in-laws are throwing.  Wow - I'm a busy guy.

Somewhere in the middle of all this stuff I have to find the time to be a geek.  I've got a tech book (as yet undecided which one) to read and I've got some presentations to plan.  With all the partying and drinking, I might not get anything done!

PS - Does anyone remember the Atlanta Multimedia UG?  I'm not sure if it was a programmer thing, but I think I recently met the founder.  Just curious if anyone remembers it.
