We are trying to stretch the holiday a bit, taking it easy until New Year’s, sleeping late, working less, reading more. My new Blu-Ray disc player is hopefully arriving today (I see many people are outraged by some late UPS deliveries, they were busier than usual. I wonder why people are outraged at life? UPS is a good company, filled with humans, things happen, sometimes things don’t always work out the way we want, it won’t kill too many people to have their packages late, I am surviving.) This afternoon, I’ve invited George Forss and Donna Wyndbrandt to go see the Hobbit movie (Smoag), dragons are right up his alley, I hope to get a photo of him with 3-D glasses.

Tomorrow, off to see my sister and I hope to devote most of next week to working on the Simon book and writing about compassion, I am into it.
