Happy Hanukkah; I see that it starts sundown on Christmas day this year. <BR/><BR/> I fly back to <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upstate_New_York">New York</A> tomorrow. Nothing really happened while I was on vacation. I didn't even go skiing. This is in part because Don was feeling quite ill, although if I had been up to it myself I would have gone on my own. <BR/><BR/> I have one more week this year that I have to show up at work. I'd tell my boss that I am quitting, but since he won't be in next week it will have to wait until next year. Many people will be predictably absent. I get to be the sole developer on call for EinsTimer next week. Isn't that dandy. <BR/><BR/> Incidentally, how does one tell one's boss that one is quitting? <BR/><BR/> I don't know what I am doing for <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Years_Eve">New Years Eve</A>. <BR/><BR/> I looked at <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney">Sydney</A> city maps and <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia">Australian</A> rental sites to gage how much it will cost to live in Australia: So far I estimate more than <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beacon,_New_York">Beacon</A>, but not horribly so. <BR/><BR/> I am looking forward to going to the <A HREF="http://www.moma.org">MoMA</A> on Thursday with <I>e</I>. <BR/><BR/> I guess what I am saying is that I don't have anything to say.
