Well, we made it through Christmas, and today is Boxing Day, so get out your gloves. And don’t forget that the holidays are still in progress: it’s only the second day of Coynezaa, which, with five days to go, culminates on Professor Ceiling Cat (Emeritus)’s birthday on December 30. On this day in 1846, the Donner Party, trapped in the snows of the Sierra Nevada, began eating each other’s bodies; and, on December 26, 1888, Marie and Pierre Curie announced the isolation of radium. Writer Henry Miller was born on this day in 1891, and, in 1974, Jack Benny died at the age of 80. Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, Hili is planning her 2016, which I suspect will be much like 2015 (food, sleep, and fusses):
A: May I sit here?
Hili: Not now. I’m making strategic plans for the next year.
In Polish:
Ja: Czy mógłbym tu usiąść?
HilI: Nie teraz, zajmuję się planowaniem strategicznym na przyszły rok.
Just a few more days until route 66. I am far younger with 3 months to go.
Well, then, happy Donner Party Day everyone!
