Hope you get power back soon, Hec.
Family gifts can be fraught. We’re all on the same page re: nephew and niece gifts (they get something, but it’s usually small), my nephew’s gift is still in transit. Now that I live half an hour from him, it’ll be easier to drop it off later.

Happy birthday wishes being sent out today to Quester and Emily! I hope you are being spoiled today and that the following year will be filled with happy surprises.
I've always been very random with family gifts, so no one has expectations. Random includes just sending something when I see it, no matter the time of year.

Only about an hour, but we were in bed by then. I had to go downstairs to reboot the wifi but otherwise it's another grey, post-xmas day.
I have to shift into travel mode soon for Japan.
I did get my Passport Card in the mail yesterday. The book should be in by Monday.
I need to talk to my travel expert resource for where to stay in Tokyo and Kyoto.

I'm just so sorry that he didn't get to see Trump defeated or in jail.
I just heard that my most favorite college roommate's SO died from an aneurysm on Christmas, in her arms. Man, it kind of sucks to get this old, because people I've known for 40, nearly 50 years are dying or losing dear ones on a regular basis now.
