In other news

The DVD player is fixed. I didn’t want to tell you it was broken because I did not want you to worry about us. Our kind, elderly landlords arrived earlier today with an elderly crony to fix it. After that failed miserably, they left and came back twenty minutes later with some sort of DVD player repairman, (i.e., someone who is young and knows Chinese). He called his repairman buddy and, before I knew it, Greta was running to the store to pick up some beer. We were suddenly hosting our first party, outnumbered 2.5-to-1 by the Chinese, and celebrating a sight for sore eyes – Stewie Griffin on our television set.

Sorry to hear that the DVD got fixed. You did not mention the type of beer that you drink over there. Edward played in his first football with the snow and cold temperature; he lasted through the game. Enjoy the holidays and remember to send the postcards!
