Of our holiday party. Maximum enjoyment and fun had by our staff. I really love planning events when they are special and it works. The staff had such a good time, relaxed and enjoyed some good food. We honored our exiting dean and shared good times together. I work with a committee but I do most of the planning and logistics. It all worked well and was well attended. Terrific!

I am home now and got out early today. Left the office at 2pm. I ran some errands - getting provisions for the cat and myself. I am kind of excited about my holiday plans. I am staying here for Christmas and doing some things. I am going to see The Hard Nut tomorrow night at Cal Performances - it is a modernized version of the Nutcracker choreagraphed by Mark Morris. I have been wanting to see it for years and got really inexpensive seats up front on the side. I saw the Nutcracker many times when I was young and so this will be interesting to see. Then Sunday, I am getting nails done with a friend and going to see Lincoln in the evening. I have a friend coming over for Christmas Eve and day and we are having the orphan holiday. I think we will watch Magic Mike - which my mom sent me in my Hanukkah package - GO MOM! Then for New Year's - I am off to Seattle to visit khylea. We are going to see the Everett Silvertips play hockey and also view The Hobbit together in a fandom happening. Yes. Very exciting.

So that is my holiday plan. I also have some things I want to get done here - cleaning out and stuff like that. I want to go through some stuff and toss things I don't need. I will see how I do with that.

Christmas cheer has reached me and I have received holiday cards from the following people:
aglarien1, mommabear, red_lasbelin, erviniae, alexcat, elflover59, wickedwhimsey, jaiden_s

Those are displayed on my dresser here in the living room and totally made my season. Thank you everyone and I will post updates as more come in.

I hope everyone is doing well this holiday season. Cheers to you!

Years ago I saw STOMP in Boston and they are coming again this Fall to SF (Orpheum Theater). I just bought tickets today and am going with some work friends. So excited, cannot tell you. This is a kind of urban primitive meets percussion from found materials (brooms, zippos, barrels, metal lids). Very fresh, very fun and very rhythmic. I was just floored by this when I saw it the first time and am really looking forward to seeing this again. Woot! So STOMP everybody!
