Found out today that one of our ReadWriteThink colleagues at IRA is having twins in April/May. We’re all excited (and glad it’s not us).

I got the lights all strung on the tree this afternoon. My mom had a doctor’s appointment, and it was my goal to have the tree all lit up by the time she got back. I wove lights in very carefully, and I had my nephew put the angel up on top (he’s taller than I am). I pity the person who has to take the lights back off. They’re wickedly intertwined. This is another benefit of leaving before the tree comes back down in early January.
