26688. judithathome - 12/23/2011 9:37:00 PM Mele Kalikimaka, everyone, from our house to yours by way of Keoni's ancestral language! 26689. arkymalarky - 12/24/2011 1:46:48 AM Yay! Y'all too! 26690. Ms. No - 12/25/2011 9:16:39 AM Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Down in LA with the bro and his chirrun --- two of them just getting over the stomach virus. Eeep!
Have seen Mission Impossible and Sherlock Holmes and thoroughly enjoyed both. I have no idea why the critics are panning Holmes. We had a great time.
Hope all you and yours are healthy and happy! 26691. thoughtful - 12/25/2011 2:44:03 PM Merriest of Christmas' and Happiest of New Years to everyone.

 26692. wabbit - 12/25/2011 3:40:19 PM Merry Christmas everyone, and a happy, healthy 2012! 26693. alistairconnor - 12/26/2011 9:12:55 AM Happy feet to all!
We gave shoes this Christmas. Above: a niece, two daughters and a nephew.
(Back story : after shopping at the mall the other day in New Zealand, my better half remarked on the posters that said "Happy Feet" (advertising an animated film), noting that she hadn't seen that expression before. She thought it was the English equivalent of the French "Joyeuses f^etes"... in her defense, English is her fourth, arguably fifth language)

Happy New Year, old friends!
(That's one New Year's resolution kept. Hope the others are as easy!)
Not sure why I wandered off - there's been no change in my (good) life - but I've been missing the Mote and the Moties. Hope you're all well and have a great 2012! 26703. arkymalarky - 1/1/2012 7:35:59 PM OHIO!!!
Great to see you! Catch us up! 26704. Wombat - 1/2/2012 12:20:35 AM Happy New Year, all! 26705. magoseph - 1/2/2012 9:35:14 PM Bonne et heureuse année à tous et à toutes. 26706. arkymalarky - 1/2/2012 10:52:35 PM Hey Mags! Great to see you! How's everything.? 26707. OhioSTOPAS - 1/3/2012 12:18:30 AM Hello again! Things are fine here in suburban Columbus. I'm still at the same job, in-house counsel for a megabank in its Columbus offices. Mrs. Ohio and I will be married for 32 years this March.
Our three kids have accomplishments (warning: bragging ahead!):
Our oldest, our son, just got his Ph. D. in biochemistry from Boston University and now has a post-doc job with a hospital in Boston. (Wabbit, you met him when he was just starting at B.U.)
My older daughter got her M.F.A. in theater dramaturgy from the University of Iowa and was married a year ago. She and my son-in-law met at Iowa, where he got his M.F.A. in acting. They moved to the Columbus area and have day jobs while pursuing theater. No grandchildren yet, but they are on the horizon or just over it!
My younger daughter will be graduating this June from THE Ohio State University, with a degree in music. (She plays clarinet and saxophone.)
I haven't been doing any posting anywhere, just writing the occasional irate letter to Columbus's finest* daily newspaper, the Dispatch.
*because ONLY daily newspaper
I hope all of you are well, and I'm looking forward to reconnecting!
