One of our favorite movies is the Jodie Foster-directed "Home for the Holidays" (1996 - Holly Hunter, Anne Bancroft, Robert Downey Jr.) in which the patriarch, played by Charles Durning, after much family drama, intones, "I hate the goddamned holidays." We tried our best to keep things simple this year, starting with not getting on a plane to spend x-mas with the family (love ya, mean it, but can't do that again!) But between my new gig and STILL catching up with our Seattle posse after so much time at the beach (and making sure our beach friends don't feel we've abandoned them), it appears we have scheduled some sort of social engagement for 9 out of 10 nights starting last weekend on through Christmas... how did this happen???!!!On the other hand, we've had a great time on every one of those occasions... and this Friday marks the return of our occasional holiday party, and the first in the Rathole. If you didn't get the email, please join us this Friday, 21 December, from 3pm until, well, one or both of us passes out.
A big thank-you to DaisyMayRobin for the shout-out!
COMING SOON: OP-Ed... some observations on what's going up in our 'hood from my Opinionated Parter
