December 2, 2016

December 2nd -- BIG HUGE FRIDAY, the very first Friday in the last month of 2016 -- it's just starting to get light, the wind is howling outside, no rain -- 49 degrees and Alexa assures me we'll have lots of sun.
The top floor is Christmasized and I'll post a video -- it's pretty cool.
I have Mr. MacClaus standing on my desk, full Scottish regalia with bagpipes, a plaid cap, full white beard -- I'll have to look up the plaid, see what clan it is. Christmas present from nephew Stephen and gorgeous wife Brittany -- they went to all my favorite places -- and he swears they had only one day of rain. Now that's unbelievable. I wonder if he's lying. I can't wait to debrief them at Christmas. Who loves Scotland? Who's been there? And where did you visit? After Italy and England, it's my very favorite country (well, there's Ireland and -- okay, you get the idea, but Italy is first).
