Hiya Brett! 
Thanks for being in touch!  So sorry to hear you had sick days on your trip!  Hope you are all better now and enjoying your vacation. 
My break has had its ups and down.  I had hoped to get away to Maine or NH, but that’s not happening!  The big news is that my mom fell in her bathroom, broke her upper arm and 3 ribs, so I spent Christmas night in the E.R. until after midnight.  *sigh  She was in the hospital until Monday, then they sent her to a rehab in the wilds of a way out suburn.  She’ll probably be there a month or more.  Poor thing.  My husband got noro virus and missed Christmas.  My sister who was hosting, her husband and daughter… all sick with colds and coughs.  So it was low key.  I got some lovely, useful presents!  
One of my best pals had breast cancer surgery on Monday, so I took her dinner Tuesday night and took her out last night so she doesn’t have to cook. 
My sister is hosting a big open house tonight, so I will be there with over 75 of her friends.  I hope you have a grand start to the new year!  I wish I could be with you to kiss you.  And grope you.  And bounce on you!  
Touch your lips at midnight for me.  Mwah! 
-S

Happy New Year’s Eve!

Happy New Years Eve to you too!

9:28am
You partying tonight?

9:56am Phil
Oh hell no! Order Chinese take-out, relax by the fire, sip champagne and watch the ball drop. Same every year. I refuse to drive on New Year’s Eve. I have the day off so chilling in my home office answering a few emails and sipping coffee

10:00am
Sounds great! We’ll be with the hordes at my sister’s open house as usual. I don’t feel very festive with Mom hurting so much but I’ll try!

Wish I could canoodle with you at midnight. ; )

10:46am

10:46am Phil
Hope Mom is improving.

New Year’s Eve has never been a big deal. I like to watch the music and others party. Still so much to do around here with the house. We spend much more time at home cause we like it here.

Canoodling is good.

Very nice photo!

Did you know SpaceX sent a rocket up! And brought it right back down! In one piece! Oh, and deployed 11 satellites. I somehow missed this is the pre-Christmas hubbub.

RE: Christmas carols
Sassy,
Sorry for being so incognito.  We were away for Christmas and still away visiting family up North.  Our lodging had limited internet capability.  Ate something bad and got sick for 2 days.  Came up to my family’s on Saturday (barely made it) enough to spend all Christmas day in bed.  Missed the turkey dinner (both the wife and I).  Still, it’s great to be back with family and now everything seems back to normal.  
I hope your vacation has been a lot better and belated Merry Christmas.  Dreamt of you last night and got a little hard.  Can’t wait to get back to Massachusetts and meet up in the new year.  Won’t be returning home until after New Year’s 2016.
see ya,

brett

Breakfast with my Mom at the hospital. She ate all her Cheerios!

Tried a new restaurant and coffee shop – Loyal Nine in Cambridge. The menu looks odd but trust the chef! It’s all delicious!

A winkle roll (croissant muffin combo)
My sourdoughnut. 
Somewhere between fried dough and sourdough bread
Thick bacon and a stupendous lobster benedict popover

Sis had a Bloody Caesar
 (yes, that’s a clam on top!)
Sis had August potato rosti with fried egg and pulled beef
