Merry Christmas!

[cjsmith]

The UPS truck just dropped off a couple packages. Alongside my new UPS battery (THANK GOODNESS) was a Christmas package from my brother and his wife. I suspect that one got delayed in some weird way. They'd said they mailed it in late December. I'll guess they had our old address, and thus had to mail it again.

Among other little gems, there's handmade caramels in there. Handmade, hand-cut, hand-wrapped. That woman has more patience than I will ever have.

As long as we don't frighten the horses. ;-)

Good luck on that job application! Me, I'm panicking about vacation too... if I get a job, any job, I'll need a chunk of vacation in September (I've signed a contract saying I'm calling in Stockholm, and once you've signed the contract, it is seriously bad juju to back out of it) and another chunk of vacation soon afterwards, in January (again, signed contract, Tokyo). I'd feel pretty awful if I got to these places and couldn't spend any extra time to sightsee. Maybe awful enough to quit a job.
