The party was fun, and I even got to bring home the penguin 'bowl' that was one of the decorations on our table.  (Louise actually won it, but she was such a sweetie that she gave it to me.)  

And isn't karma great - Louise won the final prize of the afternoon!  

(I got to reach in and pick a name, and said I hoped it would be Louise.... 

and it was!)

Then this afternoon Alex got the new DVR cable box set up (with some help from the tech people at COX) and I've already programmed it to record Jeopardy every day.

Life is good!
