Yesterday was our office holiday party—each department comes up with its own theme, and our lavishly decorated “tropical Christmas” won a prize for “best ambience”; yours truly was on the decorating committee, of course—but more importantly it was also my final workday of the year (thanks to some clever juggling of leave time). So I am now on vacation!
Rajani’s and my annual winter reunion is changing host cities this year. For the past couple of years, we’ve met up in New York, but this time, she’s coming this weekend to Arlington to visit me and Thom. Good times ahead, baby.
