After I finished wrapping and boxing up the gifts for J's family, I took the box to our neighborhood post office, and to my astonishment there was absolutely no line at the self-service counter! How could this be???
I set up our tree, ate penne while watching most of the first half of A Bramble House Christmas, and played with my data some. Then I went to J's and started reading Ready Player One after making the critical error of starting a fire without opening the damper. (I've never lived in a house where anyone bothered to close the damper!) It took two hours of the fan going, with an open window (and it's 38F outside), but the few seconds without the damper were eventually overcome.
