Guess I’m the last one up?

[LuFins Dad]

We got Finley to bed waaaaayyy too late. Karla went with him and Luke abandoned me soon after, leaving me to take care of wrapping and assembling by myself.

Just finished.. Time to enjoy a glass of rye and some Vince Guaraldi and enjoy the tree with Pistachio for a bit…

[jon-nyc]

Yeah I went to bed at 1. Up now to wrap. No assembly required.

Merry Christmas, bro.

[LuFins Dad]

Merry Christmas, @jon-nyc and a +1 to you, @Axtremus

[Horace]

Merry Christmas, all.

[Renauda]

Merry Christmas. 8:10 am and the sun is just beginning to rise. Tallis Scholars Christmas Carols and Motets album quietly setting the pace for the day. About to enjoy a freshly ground French roast coffee.

[LuFins Dad]

@Renauda coffee has been my friend this morning. Enjoy.

[Mik]

Coffee is my friend. Car rental is my enemy. Out here the fees are about 50 percent addition to the rental price.

[jon-nyc]

Take a picture when you return it.

[Copper]

Take a picture of the dents before you get in it.

We’re just going to take my daughter’s GMC. I thought we’d just rent some luxury ride, but it would end up being much too expensive.

[LuFins Dad]

I was the last one up last night, but there is a very good chance that I’m the first asleep tonight…

[jon-nyc]

You deserve the rest.

[LuFins Dad]

We have the week from hell ahead of us, too…

[jon-nyc]

How come?

[LuFins Dad]

Wow, it’s good to feel human again…

@jon-nyc This is typically our busiest week of the year. I guess a lot of families don’t want that piano to be a Christmas gift as it’s too large, but they also don’t want to miss the savings events or the special financing. It may also have to do with year-end bonuses? We will also see a few larger ticket sales come in out of nowhere. Just some dude that comes in, first time in, doesn’t play, and walks out with a C7X Disklavier or a Bosie or something.

And Karla’s schedule gets no better. Maybe worse. Luke flies out to London on Saturday, so even that small bit of help is gone…

Oh, and our company goes on a calendar year, so I also have to get together all of my year end reporting and such…

[Mik]

You’ll make more commission. My heart breaks for you.

It varies by year, but I believe somewhere close to 20% of my annual income is generated mid-November through January 1.

God will put no more on you than what you can bear.

Take comfort in that you are a very large camel with a very strong back...
