Tonight was the athletic department's Christmas party at a local restaurant. Our annual tradition is that everyone buys a $10 grab bag gift and we pass all the presents around as 'Twas The Night Before Christmas is read aloud, with the wrapped packages passed along every time the word "the" comes up. It's a fun time, especially after a couple of pomegranate martinis. This year, the grab bag present I ended up with was one of those oversized universal remotes, which hopefully I can use to replace the four (!) in my living room.
