Quickie

Just a quick one from the parents' house. I've got to get out of this room; my brother is playing my nephews' Donkey Kong Jungle Beat game and the clapping is making my ears ache. We are going to have a whole generation of deaf kids with ADD.

I've had a fabulous time and gotten lots of amazing stuff I don't deserve but am completely smitten with anyway. Amber's visit was short and sweet and she got to see what a Turner Christmas is like -- completely insane. But fun and warm and welcoming.

I head back to Memphis tomorrow to be at work at 4.

And, lastly, thanks to those who sent birthday wishes.
