Me, I did in fact put away a deal of the rum and the associated alcohols yesterday, but nevertheless I am feeling okay. Must be all the turkey and pie and sweet potato casserole that went down with it. We had a fine holiday, in which no one got damaged badly: me and HDD and my folks and one of my & HDD's mutual students & the kid all met up & my father told rocket scientist stories & HDD & me & the student told English professor & NW Arkansas stories & the late afternoon late winter Arkansas hill weather was beautiful.
Today I do not know what I will do. I have finished the revision. I suppose I might start writing something else. I can't think what, though.
I wonder if the library is open.

Time with the family, yes, hungover also. Long "playdate" in which the moms & I sat at the table eating dim sum and drinking tea, while the kids played and quarreled and sang and danced in the living room. Then a strange "family-friendly" version of the Magic Flute -- awesome costumes and props only highlighting the larger question of what the hell is going on with that opera. (Occult religion plus fairy-tale trimmings and a score in which the famous arias, while indeed stunning, are bizarrely brief.)
Dim sum! I'm jealous.
