"It's asking a great deal that things should appeal to your reason as well as your sense of the aesthetic." W. Somerset Maugham, 'Of Human Bondage', 1915 English dramatist & novelist (1874 - 1965)
"Who knows what form the forward momentum of life will take in the time ahead or what use it will make of our anguished searching. The most that any one of us can seem to do is fashion something--an object or ourselves--and drop it into the confusion, make an offering of it, so to speak, to the life force."
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

Xmas Day

Well, the presents have all been opened and raviolis consumed (though more broke this year than usual--I guess we really weren't up to snuff yesterday as we made them--the dough was too thin on too many.) Though, we did have a pan left over for freezing since we changed to the larger size glass.  Couldn't fit them all in the pot of water.

All the while the TX temp has been in the low 60s--not exactly white stuff weather, but par for course here.

Now, it's time to sit back and enjoy some wine.  Dessert will be along shortly and we'll all take dumps and fall asleep fat and happy...except those of us who suffer from heartburn and other lovely sleep problems from eating too much.

Hope everyone has had a lovely time this day.  And my sympathies to those who have to work tomorrow...day after Xmas should be exactly like Thanksgiving, everyone should be off.  One good thing about working for a pharma company, we're closed until 1/05/09.  Yes, it's ok to envy me.
