We leave today on our secret adventure, so I likely won't be back here until Christmas. Yes, Laura's taking me on a Christmas adventure somewhere, I know not where. She made all the travel arrangements, packed my bags and everything. The car takes us to the airport at 3:30. I guess I'll learn our destination when we get there.

Unfortunately, owing to not having been able to find my knit cap yesterday morning and walking all over in the cold wind, I have awakened this morning with sore throat, stuffy nose, and watery eyes. Nothing puts a dent in an adventure like an adventurer with a cold. Curses!
