Christmas day I had dinner with Randy’s family at his sister’s. Then I went to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with a friend. At the theater, there was a seating dispute that somehow necessitated police involvement. After the movie started, we heard from behind us, “Someone needs to chill out.” “Well someone needs to stop kicking my chair.” “Chill out!” “Stop kicking my chair.” So then we thought there might be a fight. Merry Christmas!
We had second Christmas on Saturday. See, after Monkey was born TRgirl awesomely declared that they were not traveling for Christmas. Which means my parents come down here after Christmas, Peg and Bob and Steph come out from where they are and we do Christmas the weekend after Christmas Day. Which means that I don’t have to travel.

I gave Monkey some books and a stuffed cat. When he opened the cat, he said, “Mow mow!” It was cute, but you may have had to be there.

Tonight I am having a New Year’s Eve party. Why? Because that way I get to stay home.
