« Putting The T In Toronto | Main | Taking A Breather»

Bittersweet
T and I are flying back to Seattle in a few hours. Christmas this year was bittersweet. Seeing family and friends was great, and the gifts were plentiful (I got some great Canadiana, including BNL's Gordon and the movie Strange Brew).
On a sadder note, both our families lost a member. T's great uncle Pete passed away the day she arrived home. In the Lyon home, we had to put our dog Zoë down. As I had blogged earlier, Zoë had been sick but managed to hang on until after Christmas.
According to the weather report, we will be leaving the snow and sub-freezing Toronto temperatures for cool and rainy Seattle. Thus ends another holiday season. See you all States-side!

Sorry to hear about Zoe -- at least she made it until you got back up there to see her one last time. My New Year's resolution is to avoid making accidental jokes about her death ... we'll see how long I can pull it off. :-)

Thanks, by the way, for equating my uncle with your dog.
