I finally got to see The Tree at Rockefeller Center. I have better pictures, but this one is of the two of us:

It was really cold on Sunday night. Really, really cold. 17 degrees cold. Husband was thrilled.

In between visits to the tree we had dinner with Faith and her family.

At long last, I got to meet Boris in person:

Husband snapped a whole bunch of pictures while Faith and I were yakyakyakking. This one’s really blurry but my expression towards Faith, who’s just out of the frame, is priceless.

Lots of people can’t believe Faith and I can get along, since we’re quite extremely, um, different, in our political views, so I’d post it for the amusement of Batty and the Linkmeister, in particular.
