As is our latest tradition, we hung out with my son and kids up on his hill.  He had a good friend and colleague, J, in town visiting, so when they left off collaborating, we all sat around, first out on the deck until it got too hot, then inside, sampling all the interesting liquid refreshments they had picked up.  Most of the time I played with the kids.  The more liquids I sampled, the more fun it was.  A quite pleasant time was had.  Less fun is how soon I reach my alcohol limit these days!  Spluh.
