How I like to start a Sunday

One part about getting a Sunday paper that I enjoy is watching Max read the comics. He skips over ones like Doonesbury, but they're still there. He knows he's skipping them and some day maybe he'll read them.

There's a lot of information in the world I wish I could skip over like that. Seems like so often information is "dive in" or "don't know."   Skipping over something you can see has advantages. 

Bonus good thing about this Sunday: I finished today's paper and even got through some unfinished parts of the paper from previous weekends. 

Four day "weekend"

Saturday - worked.

Sunday - helped a friend move. Not a bad view at all but when we got there it was so foggy we couldn't see anything. 

(That's SF and Alcatraz. She can also see Oakland and some bridges.)

Tomorrow - dentist appointment. 

Tuesday - taking the day off, half for errands but half for something so cool I'm not allowed to bring my cell phone! Maybe I can bring a court artist?

Hanukkah at home

What a treat to have Nana and Apa visiting during Hanukkah!

Interestingly I got a Menorah for Christmas so now we have even more. 

Max was excited about his string game books. 

Later in the week we lit candles at school.  

On the left is a San Francisco Giants Menorah.

One of my menorahs holds candles very poorly. It's frustrating but nice to look at still.

Christmas Eve and Day pictures

In theory I should be posting about Hanukkah first but in reality here are some Xmas pix. 

I didn't wrap this one. I received a gift in the same paper that said the snow people were totally wearing yarmulkes under their hats. 

I wrapped this lemur and penguin but had help from a kit. The reindeer on the tree has a pierced ear. 

Our tree has a muppet on top. 

Max got Minecraft books. 

And never put them down. 

The teenager got cool puzzles. 

I did not take many pictures. I was mostly relaxing on the sofa like these people. 

Off the Earth

Max jumped as the year changed but this is a picture of him jumping on Monday after having fallen in the mud and subsequently stripping.
