Why, Hello

madrobinsI have derelict, but things have been a bit more whirl-windy than usual.
Danny's mother died last week--she was 94, she was tired, and she lost her most beloved husband last year, but still. Everyone is coping as well as could be expected--or perhaps a tad better. Meanwhile we survived our 20th (I think it's 20th) holiday party, gave most of the leftovers to the kids (Sarcasm Girl and the Fiance, who come in to SF every weekend to work the Dickens Fair at this time of year). Last night we got to go to an employee screening of some movie with Luke and Leia and a cast of thousands. Further I am enjoined from saying until Friday, but I enjoyed it... and wept at the end when the dedication to Carrie Fisher came up.
We will not speak of the political landscape. I Have Opinions, but in the main they are similar to the opinions of most of my friends, and I'm not as good at discussing them as others are. The mayor of San Francisco died last night--sudden heart attack, apparently--so it looks like we have a new mayor to get used to. And yes, I'm watching Alabama with terror, but... I did say I wasn't going to speak of politics.
Beyond that? It's holiday time, with all the chaos, stressors, and overeating that suggests. I swear I'm going to have my mouth sewn shut come January 2... but I've been binge-watching The Great British Bake Off, and somehow I have the feeling that there's a little mutual opposition thing going on. Oh, and I'm binge reading Edna Ferber, and enjoying it.
How's by you?
