This week includes Christmas. Every other year, we spend Christmas on the beach. This is the off-year, so we will be celebrating it like the good Jewish people that we are not–going out for Chinese food. Lobsters were $9.99/pound and I considered it for about 2.5 seconds, just for the thrill of torturing my own dog by letting the lobster loose on the floor (a favorite childhood pastime with the family dog). However, budget guilt got the better of me, so we’ll be having chicken fried rice and watching ducks get butchered instead.
