Today we're expected to tie the all-time high for San Antonio, 83 degrees--back in the fifties. In spite of that, we've had a low-key and happy Christmas.
It started with a festive neighborhood party at Jan's house with tamales and all the foods and spirits of good cheer.

| Jan got a bowl she wanted in the pass-around game of presents, and she was daring anyone to steal it! |
Christmas started a week early for Elena--when her parents surprised her with the horse she's had her eye on for a while, a young sorrel a friend in 4H was selling.
She's grown up on Yancy, and riding on him (after wilder Clown) still "feels like a Cadillac" in comparison. Yancy's well-trained and has taken her through many rodeos, but Clown is hers to train. She's smitten.
So on Christmas morning Luci and I set out to pick up Pam to go see a horse. And have breakfast. And see Nathan before he left for his other family's.
Luci looked out the window while we waited for Pam, then perked up when she saw her coming. And off we rolled!
Meanwhile in Virginia, half a year after getting his Masters, Jackson landed a job he's excited about in Richmond! And one of Marcus' recent sports interviewees, turns out, to be more than the subject of a sports profile--on which I may say more when and if I'm given more to say. All I know now is that her name is Lucia, an athlete from Spain.
