Today is Christmas...

[amw529]

for my family, and I'm not there :(  I'm missing  last night's meatless feast of pierogies, mushroom soup, shrimp and fish, and tonight's feast of turkey, kielbasa, pasta, halupkis.  This is the first time in a long time that I've missed going to PA and I wanted to be there to show everyone the sonogram pictures.  Sigh...  It's just too much time to take off in the middle of the week, especially when my students are covering new material and struggling with it.
