Good morning. It's half past five and three of our household are up and about. Younger daughter is still asleep.
There'll be a church service this morning because it's Sunday and then four more services in the afternoon and evening because it's Christmas Eve. My wife will sing with the choir at 8:30 and 11:00. I have dinner duty and I may wind up attending only virtually.
All's well. Have a good day.

I'll be doing the usual Sunday Amazon. No work tomorrow. The fog remains around the county. It makes for a strangely beautiful countryside with ghost barns on hillsides without backgrounds and telephone poles that after only the third or fourth in a row disappear. The colors are all gone to gray except for the inviting warm yellow glow from the windows dotting the landscape.

The fog is worse this morning than it was yesterday. I can’t see the lights that I know are there on the other side of the golf course. Of course, I can’t see the golf course either. Santa needs fog lights and wheels on his sleigh.
I am glad we are not traveling.
It will be close to 60 degrees today.
Christmas Eve. Enjoy.

Good morning.
45F-53F cloudy.
Up real early because spoiled cats were yelling to get out. They teamed up with Simon yelling in DaWife's ear and Riley yelling in mine. Now usually they run the risk of playing Kitty Stuffer with this behavior. That is where kitty gets grabbed and stuffed under the covers, hot boxing is optional at this point, until he decides to leave quietly. Not today as we needed to get up anyway.
We will be headed to the airport soon to pick up Ayana and then go to breakfast. Since her plane will be in early we can still make it to the Little Oven. We did groceries yesterday so just a quick trip to Target for a few last minute items and then home to stay put for a few days.
Ya'll have a nice Holiday weekend.
86 Days Until Spring.

I'll be popping off to the market for some ingredients intrinsic to the coffee/ginger cake I will be baking later today in the new loaf pan. The young baker isn't feeling well and doesn't want to spend too much time standing in the kitchen, so she plans to direct me in the execution of this project. Recipe from Mark Bittman's book, "How to Bake." If it turns out well, photos will follow.
This song has been in my head all morning.

You're still fab to me, Howard. Looking forward to seeing the loaf pan results. |

I’m competing in my own personal Ed Gwenn lookalike contest. Feeling more like Fred Gwynne (in his most famous role). Sad that we’re not in Kansas for the holiday. I was looking forward to a late-night Christmas Eve service with mom.  |

Don’t use the WD-40 that Todd suggested. That was a joke. At least, I hope it was. |

I think I knew that. Nor will I use that weird butter spray. Hope will be guiding me all the way through, and she is a strict DI.

Morning.
Potatoes are peeled. The final preparations are under way. Church service @ 4:00. I sing a solo. The family comes over at 5:30 for dinner and the evening present-opening (an tequila sipping) ceremony. 18 people expected.
Merry Christmas Eve to all.

Choir sings at this morning's only service. As usual, there are games and food and even a petting zoo before the service on this Sunday before Christmas. Then, since it's Christmas Eve, the choir sings again at 9:00 PM for the candlelight service. I may need a nap before that. But first we need to do our walk and I need to bake a pie. We'll have turkey sandwiches for dinner. Full turkey dinner tomorrow. The turkey is from Thanksgiving.
