Christmas Cards

[cjsmith]

It occurs to me, sitting here finishing the return addresses on my Christmas cards, that I know a fascinatingly wide variety of pretty neat people. I just read a few off to my parents. "Owns a vineyard. Professor at Harvard. Lived in Cairo last I saw her. Professional musician. Won the Hugo this year. Knows everything about buying cars and helped me with mine. Another vineyard. Flight instructor. Independently wealthy. More prepared for the apocalypse than it is possible to be. Chiropractor. Square dance caller. Most knowledgeable birder I know..." Yeah. Nifty wide-ranging bunch of friends. This is a cool thing.

Oh, if you won the Hugo (and you know who I'm talking to, don't you? Yes you do), I don't, technically speaking, have your address. Your card will be, um, later than the others. :-/ Send me e-mail?

Wow! LJ-address would work. Anyhow, thank you! I've screened your comment Just In Case.

Happy holiday to you and Kate as well!

Thanks for the card, CJ!

You are very welcome! I'm glad I still have your address. How are things going?

Things are going pretty well! Rick & I are going to be traveling to Puerto Rico in a couple of weeks (a work conference for me). So I'm REALLY looking forward to that!

How about with you?

That sounds wonderful! I hope you get some time to look around in between work sessions.

Me, I'm in a job that's stressful enough that I honestly think I can't take it. It's otherwise a wonderful job and I suspect a lot of the stress is self-imposed, but still, I'm miserable. If I can't hack it, it doesn't matter what the reason is. My only problem now is figuring out what to DO about it. I'd probably do the same to myself in any other job. Gah!!

Other than that (and this awful cold) I'm doing well. Rob is happy and healthy and I'm surrounded by three purring cats. :)
