Xmas shopping

Christmas shopping has begun in earnest. Unfortunately today
I sent a Share the Love e-mail for all sorts of gifts I purchased
from Amazon so some recipients probably know what they're
receiving. I have been such a space cadet for the past month,
e.g. going to the wrong airport for my flight back to Boston.
I'd like to think these are the distractions of genius but more
likely they're evidence of the onset of senility.
The weather in Seattle now is brutal. Biting cold and heavy rain.
My next personal vacation will absolutely be to some place
sunny. Absolutely. My office is an ice chest. I am wearing
a scarf indoors. I may attempt to start a small fire using
old Powerpoint presentations.
