I took part in a sacred religious ritual today: I went to eat Chinese food with Jewish friends. He even bought lunch and at the end he said, “It’s Christmas!” and we both laughed. I suggested next time we should invite our Muslim co-worker as well.
Other than walking down to the Chinese Restaurant I didn’t do all that much today. I watched A Christmas Story last night and I watched A Christmas Carol (the 1951 version with Alastair Sim) today. Other than that, not much other than walk my sister’s goofy dog Dede. Lately, Dede doesn’t seem to want to go for a walk. We’ll get out the door and she just stands there, shivering. I have to carry her across the street before she gets the idea. I think she just wants to sleep next to the heat register.
Silly dog.
Well, Deedle’s a basenji. It’s winter in Portland. Sleeping in front of the heat vent is what she is supposed to do. Like the Jews-Chinese restaurant-Christmas thing. That’s just the way it is.
I had wanted to wish you merry christmas on the eve.. but was not able to get to your blog for reasons unknown.. just wouldn’t load for me. Anyways.. Happy holidays.. 🙂 and a grand New Year.. 🙂
I think that maybe Deedle needs a sweater for cold weather walks. Tell you sister to get on it.
