lee_ellen & flydi's house. Opening my laptop I had a moment of severe disorientation- the browser was showing this page, which happened to be the last thing flydi pointed me at last night. I didn't quite think I had taken her mac laptop home, but almost. (Shades of the Far Side cartoon with Santa and some random person swapping big bags at the laundromat).
We might've stayed later in Ithaca but dan's giving a guest lecture at 9am tomorrow. Overall the trip was great, if a little short. The Quaker meeting had its Christmas Pageant this morning, and I have to say it was well done even if I don't go for the schmaltz. The kids did a competent job at Bible readings, there were requisite cute toddlers in animal outfits, and dan started snickering when a shepherd's stick almost took out someone's eye when the kid forgot to keep it vertical.
On the road at 12:45, home at 5:45. Not bad time, considering there was rain around Buffalo.
Car thoughts (partly credited to Dan, partly due to me, partly just... yeah):
"Tina Peel" would make a great porn-name. Instead, she's a Buffalo radio DJ.
Christmas displays often include Santa, Frosty the Snowman, and Rudolph, right next to Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. Was Santa one of the three wise men? Rudolph one of the barn animals?
Dan came up with a real zinger, but I'll let him post it.
I'm quite hopeful thatlee_ellen can come visit for New Years. She's home alone with the dog (while flydi is still visiting family).
