And so we proceed into the holiday season, which will entail many visits Hither and Thither.<\/p>\n

Coming Hither we start with my folks, who arrive in town tomorrow and go home on Tuesday. It’s a bit later in the year for them than usual, so we’re pondering what sorts of entertainment to provide them with. We have some good places to eat, but that only takes up so many hours of the day …<\/p>\n

Following that, Margie’s folks arrive the following Friday (or perhaps Thursday), and stay through one weekend, and then through Thanksgiving weekend. A few small projects are lined up, but nothing particularly earthshattering.<\/p>\n

That brings us to December, and a scant few weeks until we go hieing off Thither to California for Christmas and New Years. Somewhere in there we do Christmas Cards and Christmas Shopping and, I’m sure, many, many, many other things. Margie’s office has a party (a murder mystery dinner), my office has a party (something cowboy themed), our dojo has a dinner (“See what people look like when not in their gi!<\/em>“), and probably others besides that — church Advent party, etc.<\/p>\n
