Holiday over

...Now back to work? It's not much of a holiday if you're still doing the same things you do daily. We did splurge on Christmas Eve dinner, with a nicely roasted turkey breast. Alas, there weren't any turkey legs available at our regular grocery, so no dark meat. But there was a mountain ("This means something.") of mashed taters with white cheddar, turnip greens, green beans & biscuits. We had pumpkin pie with whipped cream. We dodged a bullet, if you will, by changing our cable and Internet service just before the holiday. While we were Christmas shopping last Tuesday, I encountered a rep for the service we used to have. Immediately, I latched on, and let him begin signing us up. One problem though: he needed the Plaidman to sign too. I said I'd look for him, but if the rep (Ned) saw him he should say hi. I gave Ned a description. Several minutes later. Ned saw him, and said "you must be Terry", and freaked out the old man. Within a few more minutes we were signed up. The tech came to the house Christmas Eve & git us connected. Then a bomb went off in front of AT&T's transmission center in Nashville. If we hadn't changed providers we. would still be out of service.
