Imagine my surprise when the 10 year old and I were handed these at Starbucks this morning:
Excuse me, but by my calendar it’s only November 4.
Sigh……
By the way, yes, the eldest gel came to the office with me this morning. It’s parent/teacher conferences and we didn’t know what else to do with her. At the moment she’s harping at me to stop screwing around and get to work.
Kids today.

Sweet! I’ve been waiting for the red cups.
They make me happy.
I’m ok with the red cups being out this early. I’m not ok with having seen a Christmas tree in the front window of my neighbor’s house.

As it happens, we’re going to be in Florida visiting Mrs. R’s parents over Christmas this year. The other day it suddenly occurred to me – why blow eighty bucks on a tree when we’re not even going to be around?
I mentioned this to Mrs. R and, mirabile dictu, she agreed with me.
So after Thanksgiving is over and done, it’ll be Advent wreaths on the doors, switching out the purple for the red ribbon just before we leave, and nothing else.

Just be glad you didn’t have to run your daughter to the doctor and then have to hold her down to have her throat swabbed!
