Seriously? Who doesn't like going to 2-3 different houses for Thanksgiving or Christmas all on the same day?
It just wouldn't be the holidays without constantly checking the time and thinking about all the people who are going to be upset because you're later than they expected.

Holidays don't matter to me. I don't get why some people expect you to be there on Thanksgiving and Christmas when they are no different than any other day. I'd rather visit my parents when nothing is going on so I can have some good time with them as opposed to times when it is so busy that no one can relax.

There are, however, limits. My first encounter with them was when I was a neurology resident and the cardiac surgeons turned down my heroin addict stroke patient for his third valve replacement, necessitated by his ongoing use of dirty needles. They were right, of course, there being plenty of other indigent patients in need of their services, but it still came as a shock to me and my patient.

We had an In and Out in Vegas one time. As we were waiting in the drive through line, we watched a rat as big as a cat wander into the storage building they had. The burger was a definite letdown.

This is often considered in the context of refusal to buy health insurance, risky behaviors, etc. Aside from the widespread social consensus that we offer medical assistance to those in need and ask questions afterward, there is unanimous agreement among ethicists that it cannot be done. In the context of an infectious disease, it also puts the society at greater risk.

My preference for antivaxxers is to allow them to not vaccinate, but then to exclude them from various things society offers, like schools for their children, for example. Sure, you can leave your children unvaccinated! But they can't come to public schools. And any employer should be allowed to deny them employment - after all, they threaten the health of the non-crazy workforce. Your right to swing your arms ends at my face.

Personally, I prefer 5 Guys. In-N-Out burgers are okay, but nothing to write home about. Their fries are inferior to 5Guys, plus 5Guys practically buries you in the damn things.

Been a while since I posted this:
That is a lump of deep-fried chocolate ice cream. On a burger. I miss that too.

Went for a nice bike ride this morning. Thought I'd try one of the easier local hills. It was a painful fail. I had to stop twice to get my heartrate down. And had to walk the last bit to the top. At least the decent was lots of fun.

We've always had In-n-Out here. I never understood the appeal. The burgers are ok but there are better burgers around. Their fries suck. I haven't been there in over a year.

The best Christmas Mrs. LAJ and I have are the ones where we don't go anywhere. We made that decision a few years ago, and it was one of the best we've made. Don't get me wrong, I love this time of the year, but when the final crescendo is a tension filled, rushed bunch of family gatherings, we finally passed.

Oh, and speaking of the holidays, maaaannn - LAJ is not alone, there are a lot of people with Christmas lights up already. I picked up dinner and was surprised by the number of houses lit up on the drive home.

Years ago I worked near a family run shop that had apple crullers that I lived for.
