We spend Xmas with my stepmom, as she is the only person in either of our families who cares about the yearly reunion actually being on Dec. 24-25, so we have to make sure to plan to see the other families throughout the year. So we scheduled Madison (G’s dad, stepmom, aunt & uncle, younger brother & sister-in-law & new baby, and grandfather) for February. Next time I might think that through a little more carefully; it’s quite cold there currently. Happily, though, my sister will be coming out to Madison from DC for the weekend, as well. I expect we will do a lot of sitting around and eating good food.

I really did have something more interesting to say but it’s all forgotten now. Oh well. In the future, perhaps.

(I would’ve said it was like a sauna, but everyone says that, and plus I’ve never been in a sauna so I don’t know if it’s like Madison.) It is like Eugene (except for the hot bathroom factor), but with better food and more rich people. And corn.

Home is nice because here it is cool at night, and there is sushi and a good dog. It is pleasant even though there is class and I have to read articles and chapters in silly books about management.
