I hope to give details of my holiday soon, or maybe some other muse will divert my attention and I'll write about something completely different. In the meantime here are some photos from Christmas.

Love your Christmas pics, Ian. I laughed outright at the last caption. Having spent some time around happy, well-fed black Labs, I know just what that breath would have smelt like!
Like the photos especially of Daddy leaning on the fence and of Booker. I loved the Don Kwiksoty commentary--classic! Should be required for every litcrit class. linser (p.s. I only seem to able to comment if I'm anonymous now).
Happy New Year, Ian! Love the photos - I'm always curious to see what other people's Christmas's look like!
I think Happy well-fed labs are one of the joys of life Charlotte.
I realized that my synopsis of the story was told in a similar way that the characters in the actual novel portray old tales of Knights and courtly love. I'm starting to read Quixote and Sancho as an old married couple who bicker all the time. Wonder where I got that one.
I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures Litlove. They came out well which is not surprising considering the good time we were having.
Loved seeing those photos! Even the dogs in your family have an intellectual air to them. I wouldn't be surprised to find one of your family's pets reading Proust (in the original French, of course). Living inside of a Woody Allen movie, as I do, I'm grass-is-greener jealous!
Danny, it is my dream to live in a Woody Allen movie, especially "Radio Days." Hanging out backstage with Wilco all the time wouldn't be so bad either.
I thought I left a comment, but it doesn't appear I did, so I'll repeat myself and say I'm glad I wasn't there to show up in any of these photos, although I'm sorry I missed it.
