Christmas Eve day in Houston.

Getting here was a bit of an ordeal. A heart attack on our SFO→DEN
flight forced us to make a stop in Grand Junction, delaying our eventual
Denver arrival by two hours. Our connecting flight having long

We were finally home around midnight, having stepped out our front door
