Remember when Silly Bands were all the rage?  This set appeared on an empty desk, and a coworker and I couldn’t quite figure out what they were supposed to be.

I know some people think it’s odd that I read every page of a book, from cover to cover, while most folks start with Chapter 1.  But see?  if I did that, I’d have missed this gem.

In addition to the traditional eating of Chinese food last night, we had a Yankee swap….for socks.  Everyone brought a pair of wrapped socks.  I got these, my bear-foot socks.  I’m quite pleased with them.

After the appetizers had been cleared, Rachel realized that she had 3 forks.  So a bunch of handed over the forks we weren’t using, figuring more forks is better.

This guy was just hanging out in the lobby of MGH, radiating coolness and Christmas cheer.
