Not dead!
Went to Fairbanks for the weekend. It was splendid. Beverly (Ted’s mom) asked me to make the pie crusts, which made me unreasonably happy. :) Everybody’s well, we saw Ellen, she gave me a nifty new mousepad and we had a good talk, and we opened Christmas presents at Ted’s house, except the pickled garlic we’d brought for his dad got smashed on the airplane :( so they had to open their presents as soon as we got there so they could be washed. We got a lot of good loot. :) I’ll write more about it later, but right now I’m mostly posting to say NOT DEAD! :)
I am v. glad you are not dead. v!
