Merry Christmas, a day late

I hope Santa was as generous to you as he was to us. We're now pretty much equipped for the surgery and recovery: loose sweats and sweaters, music, books, crosswords, PS3 games, and a new Ipod speaker system with a remote that I can bring to step-down in Cleveland.

We're in Kentucky, enjoying family and down time. Jenn's brother Patrick is newly engaged, and he and Libby are here for a few days. It's nice to be able to spend some time with her and get to know her - she's terrific (as expected, since Patrick is a man of discerning taste).

My friend Laurie could use your thoughts - she's with her cousin's wife, with whom she is very close, and who is sadly dying of cancer. They're doing their best to muddle through the holiday season. Follow them here, and post a comment if you're inclined.

Take care,

Michael

Not to be too picky, but it's my cousin's wife, who is more like a sister-in-law. Very close relationship. I'm posting good wishes to you on the last posting here.....
