In a Mellow Tone

Sitting here at my Dad's. . .everything is so nice and chill. Jazz guitar going on in the background, the house is quiet and warm, he keeps good Earl Grey and pasta for me. Being here is so much simpler and sweeter. . .everything gets clear and easy and relaxed and life is good. Yay.

Mom carried through the tradition of giving me a present early, even before the Eve present, because I'm easy to shop for and Keith isn't and she likes it to look as though we got equal presents. This year's goodie takes the cake: the first season of Fraggle Rock on DVD. My favorite childhood show. I was watching it and said, "They used awfully big words for children's programming." My mother's response, delivered with an indulgent smile, "That was why you liked it." Yay.

It's 9 p.m. and I'm going to bed. Night all, and happy holidays!
