The season of parties
First there was my birthday party on 11/19, then we attended a Thanksgiving get-together at our friend Blake's apartment on 11/24. Today I attended my nephew's 1st birthday party, had a good time. Then this Thursday is a Christmas get-together at my other brother's house. And finally on Christmas Day there's a big to-do at my mom's. This is a lot of family time all at once. :-\
I woke up at 3:00 this morning to drive my wife to the airport for her first trip back to Tokyo in the last year and a half. They're at a critical point in the schedule and need her abilities on-site in Japan, so she had to go. She is scheduled to return on Christmas Eve. I know how these trips go, though. They're always extended, either a little or a lot. In this case, extend it one day and she misses Christmas. As it is, she's missing today's party and Thursday's. I miss her. :-(
