Oh Christmas tree, oh Jingle Bell Rock, in hotel bed.

YES, WE CAN VISIT YOU, BUT WE'LL ONLY BE ABLE TO STAY FOR A MONTH OR TWO.

Spent a delightful evening recently with friends. Our son had a long list of questions and observations. Ultra-condensed summary:

(begin quote-unquote):

Do they have a bathroom? I thought they didn't but they do. I didn't know they had toilet paper too! Hey, they have a door like us, did they take ours? Can we stay overnight? Can they share their toothbrushes with us? Can I have juice? Can I have an apple slice? Hey, I found money on the counter...can I keep it? Why do they have toys? Why do they have a bathtub? Hey, a LEGO boat, we don't have one of those! Are we going to watch a lot of movies here? 

And so on. Block off the old chip.

Striking couple trying to look serious the day before Christmas.
