Thursday
Happy Chanukah.

I really can’t complain about not heading to Moab today. Instead, we’ll go down there on Monday and stay for three or four days.

Nyx and I did some running around this afternoon, capped off with dinner and coffee with and . We brought Nox’ computer back from being an overgrown – and rather costly – paperweight. Again. And, as he made a post a little while ago, I’ll take it that the overall prognosis is positive.

I caught online earlier. He and Rana are back from the honeymoon and will be heading to China this weekend. (And, no, I haven’t gotten around to working on the pictures… but I have transferred them from the camera to the PC. That’s some progress, at least.) I don’t know when they’ll be back in the States again, but it was good to see them over Thanksgiving.
