Ok, the suburbs of Philadlephia aren't exactly the tundras of the North. But, boy, is it cold compared to Florida. New York was awesome, as usual. I really enjoyed "A Wonderful Town," unfortunately I read that it was closing on January 30.

There are children children everywhere this Christmas - with Aunt Joy's in Florida, and Aunt Julie's, Mary's and Dad's here (and I'm not counting Emily and Graham who are college age). Children children children. I love visiting kids, they are so entertaining. A set of plastic golf clubs and a story about a shark that ate his teacher entertained William all night last night. I wish I was that easily amused. But they also remove any vestiges of doubt about my plans to not have children for a very long time (or ever). They're exhausting! And they're not even mine...

Plans for the day: Go on a walk (I left my running clothes over at Aunt Mary's and I'm at Dad's), Go to the mall to spend some of my gift certificates, then a party at Aunt Mary's with all the relatives for the Eve.
