Christmas came and Christmas went and we did get the cards finished\u2014mostly, and the gifts purchased and wrapped\u2014mostly, but the food was gathered in and everyone seemed to enjoy . . .<\/p>\n
We still have some friends to celebrate with tomorrow, Bob’s best friend from the “dirty knees days’ and his wife, Linda, (whom I doubt ever had dirty knees!)<\/p>\n
We had a terrific time hosting the faculty party for Design + Media\u2014I’m so lucky to work with such wonderful and interesting people! and we always enjoy the “rude” dinner. Debbie, you’re the rudest!<\/p>\n
New Years is in the offing and then we struggle with when to un-decorate. Bob would leave it up to the 4th of July. He’ll say not but he might.<\/p>\n
