December 1

By -
The days crept by and here we are, at December 1. I can't believe it. The whole of 2014 is almost over, and what do I have to show for it? Quite a bit, thank you very much. I hope you do, too.

Just in case you weren't aware, December 1 is:
  • the 335th day of the year
  • the day the government reinstated the draft lottery (for Vietnam, the first since WWII)
  • the birthday of Jan Brett, author of The Mitten and many other lovable picture books
  • the day I start to worry that I'm not ready for Christmas
You can find an entire list of what has occurred on December 1 on the internet, of course, so I'll stop there. If you find something exciting and want to share, please do.

"Oh, Melina, how are you?" they squeal, or, "Can I have a hug, too?"  Melina is happy to oblige. All of that happened before we even made it into the front office to check in.  There, her celebrity status continued.  &
