    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…

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

      Merry Christmas, bro.

              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.

              Elbows up!

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

                        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.

                                  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…

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

                                          I don't get it. I'm not saying I'm done in November, but man... Christmas is a known date. Why wait to buy or wrap? I usually try to have everything wrapped by like Dec 15 or so. My wife waits a bit longer and then she gets stressed and I (wisely) don't make the same comment of.... you knew this was coming, why did you wait? Mentally I just tell myself that Christmas is is like December 18th so I have to be done by then.
