Never too late for Christmas

We made a very whirlwind trip back east for Christmas. Our first trip on Virgin Airlines, which is fantastic. SFO to JFK airport, then approximately 2 hours getting out of New York to meet Cathy's mom in New Jersey. We took a car (thanks Pop!) to Pennsy and spent the holiday with my family, then back to NJ and NYC where we caught up with Cathy's family and lots of friends. We managed to squeeze in a trip into NY and caught "Spring Awakening," which reminded me of how much we miss NY theater out here on the West Coast. Also reminded of what a pain in the butt NY can be. The kids are all getting bigger, as is everyone's television, but it was fun to just kind of settle into a week with some old comfortable relationships. We flew back on New Year's Eve with a couple of delays. After finally getting back to our car in Marin, we dragged into a supermarket, bought some dinner and then spent our glamorous New Year's celebration passing out on the couch at 9:30 pm.

Grandpa either referees the match or just waits for chances to laugh at players.

"Work it! Yes! Yes! No!"


"Fix it. Then give it back."
