Love all those Xmas trees, both the elaborately creative ones and the sad losers.

The laundry basket is my favorite sad Xmas tree. BTW, what exactly is an "Ariel view?" Is that what The Little Mermaid sees when she's flying in a plane?

I don't know what happened to the six AM cat. It got ticked off the calendar, but things go wrong sometimes. It will probably show up on a different day as a double dose.

DWVR, I am red-faced, but I have now corrected aerial.

Gardner, Manhattan studio, researchers, costumers, photo lab dude, exotic equipment, how does he make money to support this group?

Gosh all those characters and stuffed bears would make you think Christmas had a commercial element to it.

I didn't know Johnny Marks who wrote the Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer song in 1948, was the Brother-in-law of Robert May who created Rudolph for Montgomery Ward in 1939.

Miss C is always edumacational.
