So we got back in town on Wednesday to beat the new year weekend travel crowds in the airports. It turned out to be a pretty smart thing to do, as security only took 15 minutes and there was no delay in our flight at all. Temperature here back in Columbus was about mid 30s so we thought "okay, we can handle this". Not a bad way to end the year and get ready for the new quarter, I said to myself.Next thing I know, the weather turned 180 the very same night and it got colder and colder and colder, and even colder the next few days!!!

With school out of the way for the next 3 weeks, that means no 804 papers, no 846 quizzes, and 824 cases (sigh, I actually enjoy them). After getting a glimpse of the real Ohio winter last week where the average high was in the 20s, heading back down to the south seems like a great idea. Last time I checked, the 10-day forecast for Houston is somewhere between 50 and 70 degrees! I'll take that any day in December, ha!Another thing we'll be looking forward to is all the food in Chinatown in Houston.

This past weekend Tiffany and I drove a little further east toward Newark, OH. to check out the famous Longaberger building. Supposedly this is one of the 10 most unique buildings in the world according to QuazenOnce we got there, I can totally see why. Mannnnnnnnn that is one big basket.The town itself is not very exciting to be honest. This company is right off Hwy 16 and that's about the only thing you can see around you besides farms. Nevertheless, it was a nice day out and Tiffany really enjoyed the scene and I can totally use some time away from accounting.

Last Wednesday I was able to put together my class schedule for the winter quarter. Here's what it looks like:AMIS 803 (5) - MW 830-1018AMIS 866 (1~4) - MW 1030-1218AMIS 822 (5) - MW 130-318AMIS 894.40 (2) T 1030-1218BUSFIN 849 (4) - T 130-430At first glance I was thinking, woot no classes on Thursdays and Fridays. Then I realized if I add up the numbers in parenthesis, which represent the number of credits for the course, I'm looking at somewhere between 17 and 20 credit hours!!!

Lately I've been pigging out a lot and this weekend was no exception. We tried out a new Italian place this time called BRIO Tuscan Grille. This is a new one for Tiffany and I, since we don't have BRIO in Texas. For starters, in addition to the bread, we got some Calamari Fritto Misto or simply fried calamari dripped in some really yummy mayonnaise (I'm guessing) sauce.Then, for the main course, I had my eyes set on the Garganelli Carbonara the moment I opened the menu because I have really low resistance for white sauce mixed with bacon and extra cheese.
