If the holidays are good for anything, it’s overdoing it. For me, this usually means eating way too much of what I’m not supposed to. It’s kind of like buying all of your holiday gifts on your credit card: eventually you have to pay the bill, and it’s usually sooner than you think.

Still, I’ve enjoyed my holiday. I think I’ve managed to relax and get a bit of work done — a pretty good mixture of the two. I’ve been taking some photos, reading a novel, exercising, and talking myself into an expensive purchase. While I amy or may not get the Canon 85mm f/1.2 L lens, I will continue to enjoy my holiday up until the last minute.

This morning, that’ll begin with a five-mile run for me. Here’s to your holiday indulgences. Enjoy them before the bill comes due.

Happy holidays, everyone. Stay warm. Smile. Wear your lose clothes. Fall asleep feeling fat. It’s the American way.

I have said it before, and I’ll likely say it again: Ybor City’s Market on 7th has the best pizza I have ever put in my pizza hole. It even photographs real purty. This image was taken on our last anniversary trip to Florida. It was also taken right before we ate the whole thing.

What makes the pizza so great? It might have something to do with the crisp, yet chewy texture; or the perfect amount of cheese; or the spicy, sweet, basily sauce. It’s just good. Try it if you’re ever in Tampa. You’ll thank me.

You can’t beat pizza and beer.
