I see my daughter was home for Christmas and singing along.
I also see Chris Houda (son of Doug) who used to help out behind the bench. Good Kid.

Could be possibly delayed. AccuWeather says very cold and 4-8" of snow total in Indy.

She was getting in Friday at 9:35 pm .....now she is flying overnight and getting in Friday at 9:30 am. It is OK with me except the traffic.
Safe is important and the weather Friday is expected to get bad.
Amanda's flight was just changed (Jet Blue / San Francisco to Boston) due to weather

I think a lot of us need some peace in our lives, I love winter. I hope all those traveling arrive safely, we had years of winter driving when my parents lived in Montreal. There were many white knuckle drives.
Today would have been my Mom's 99th birthday. I miss her every day.
It has only been 6 months since my Mom passed but I know I will miss her every day of my life too.
4 months for mine....gonna be such a weird Christmas
We would always call her for every holiday and say YOKUS BADANYA....which means absolutely nothing, made it up, but I told her it meant Merry Christmas in Polish, and she believed it , so we started using it for everything.
So in a few days I hope I am the first to wish you all Yokus Badanya !
Five minutes, but certain she'll be fine.
I do not care for flying these days, either, and haven't in 35 years.
A bad business.
Recall wearing a jacket and tie back in the '70s. Having a drink or two in the '80s.
Flying was a "privledge" then. Not an overcrowded, unpleasant, obscenely expensive bus.
Those were the days (1968, Paul McCartney, producer),

First Christmas without our Mom. We're trying to do new traditions because frankly it hurts to do the old ones.
For example, for years we went to a local restaurant for dinner on Christmas Eve, after a day prepping for guests that evening & Christmas dinner the next day my mother didn't want to cook. This year instead of going out I'm making Christmas dinner for Christmas Eve instead of the following day. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, butternut squash & rolls. Apple pie for dessert. I was going to attempt to make the pie myself but I chickened out. Friday night will be spent peeling vegetables, prepping the bird & making onion soup dip. Mom taught me the key to a successful dinner is to do as much ahead of time as possible.

thank you and wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a quick recoveryI usually put up a real tree (except COVID year when I ignored Christmas altogether) .
This year I put the candles in the windows and did not (yet) put up my outside lights or tree.
No tree this year. I hope I am more mobile within a day or two (just got injections into my hips today) so who knows. I won't be dragging a tree up a flight of stairs this year. I love once it is up...my cats do too
I am so happy for you Andrew. Seeing those you love is what is the most important.
My daughter is flying in on Friday (hopefully the weather cooperates). I pick her up in Boston Fri night.
My older sis is driving out 12/24 from the Berkshires to stay for a couple of days.
Hopefully @GahdenRinkRat and her hubby can come up.
I hope everyone has a lovely holiday.
When the numbing stuff wears off it is a bit painful. They say give it 48 hours to know if it works. I know it won't be 100% but hope for some relief. I am cautiously optimistic.If I may, how are you feeling after the injection(s)?
I trust well, sincerely,
They told me to be sure to have someone drive me home, but I drove myself and it was fine (about 10 miles).
Thanks for asking!
Actually, I put in AM and it should have been PM. It is 12 hours difference (earlier). I am fine with it.
For the memory of all of those who are no longer here and I miss on Christmas, makes it seem like being in here.

haha, love it, wish we had the 1/2 bath, son is here, his luggage still hasn`t arrived, mother-in-law arrives Friday, 2 bedroom condo, under 1000sqf, 1 bathroom. Son in spare room until Friday, gets the boot once mother-in-law arrives then relegated to a queen size air mattress in the living room, she`ll be a tight space but we also won`t be sitting here for 16 hrs a day

My wife and sister are both expecting.
Things are strained with my parents to say the least. Both have a litany of mental health and physical issues.
Still, we try to keep both involved when and however we can. My mom works retail and has to work Christmas Eve so we offered to pick her and my dad up for lunch Friday. My dad is on disability and rarely leaves the house.
Long story short, both declined the invitation and will spend Christmas alone.
Sucks, but what can you do? My sister is taking it pretty hard. I’ve sort of just accepted that this is what it is.
