Just wrapping up a very unusual Christmas day.\u2026 It\u2019s a first of many ways\u2026 It\u2019s the first one we\u2019ve had without kids since they were born\u2026 It\u2019s our first without dogs\u2026 It was over 60\u00b0F today And rainy.<\/p>\n

But in many ways it was pretty normal. Diane and I woke up early and took advantage of the warm weather and headed up to catamount Trail. We went up to a small evergreen forest with waterfalls that are dogs\u2026 Particularly chai\u2026 Really loved. I took advantage of the warm weather to take a quick jump in the water. I couldn’t go too far because the rain and the snow melt it made things into\ufffc\ufffc A raging river\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We did headed back home\u2026 And had a really nice zoom call with my mom\ufffc<\/p>\n

Several hours later the West Coast of our family started waking up\u2026 And we started together for a family day. Believe it or not we were on zoom all together on an hour from 1 PM until midnight with a variety of sitting around talking, cooking, opening presents, toasting and just hanging out. It was a really wonderful day\ufffc. Not the same as being physically together but wonderful just the same\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Max and Becky had made their own wonderful beef Wellington\u2026<\/p>\n

But they had given us a pointer to a recipe for samosas. We never made them so Gab\u00c9 made some on his side and we made them. I think we ended up eating them at 10:30 at night. They were so wonderfully good\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We decided to eat them with mimosas because they rhymed<\/p>\n

\ufffc<\/p>\n

We just finished around midnight our time with a toast to each other, to Sam, grandma and grandpa Mariano,, my dad, Chai, satori\u2026\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What was funny is at the end of the day we still hadn’t made much progress on opening presents\u2026 We’re getting back together on Sunday to finish that off.<\/p>\n

It was so nice to be able to spend the day together\u2026 Distance or no<\/p>\n

I hope everyone else got to spend time with their loved ones and one way or the other\u2026<\/p>\n

Night, all, nite Sam\ufffc<\/p>\n
