Keeping up in Faerie

Night before last: Down to Newport for the boat parade, in conjunction with a big Stanford alumni shindig at a house that sits right on the water. (Margie’s folks and mine are both alums, so we get come, too.) Lots of brightly lit and decorated boats parading around the harbor, lots of good food and drink.

Last night: Sort of the opposite. Some other friends of the Ks invited us down to a tailgate party at a Long Beach Marina, during which we took turns taking a boat out into the byways and canals of Naples (no kidding), wherein multi-zillion dollar houses were brightly decorated for the holidays.

Today: Brunch, Return of the King. Huzzah!
