Merry Christmas from Mishka (and G & I)

We hope you have a wonderful holiday! We are celebrating it here in San Diego because we both have to work (though I get the 24th and 25th off....G is on call). Mishka doesn't have to work, though, which is good news.

Snow is an hour away, if we want it (also, we'll be heading to Utah for the two long weekends in January and February to go skiing/snowboarding). A nip is in the air - it has been raining regularly, and our garden has exploded into this incredibly lush paradise. We've been working like maniacs each weekend to plant and weed and mulch. It is great fun, but lots of work. I suppose I'd be better off dedicating so many hours to the study of radiology. But where would our garden be, then?!

Since it has been chilly (45 at night!), we've had occasion to use the new gas logs Geoff bought and installed. They're really quite lovely, and the fact that they don't pop and hiss makes it easy on the pooch, who FREAKS OUT when she hears any tiny little crackle. It still cracks us up that we gaze into these fake logs and wax on about their realistic beauty.

'Tis the season!
