16 walks till christmas

Today, I am shopping, walking in the 'hood, and going to class. It's the first Tuesday I've had off from my part-time art center job in months.

I took the tree picture at Dan Shantz Greenhouse—the decorations in my 'hood are uninspired. Why would you do this to a REAL tree? Why not just buy a fake one? Maybe shiny tinsel like Aunt Dorothy used to have. With the colored lights under it.

Now, maybe I can get my Christmas cards done. Friday I'm walking to the Wood Street Post Office to mail them. That's the branch that has the Christmas City cancellation. Yes, I know, nobody but me notices. What can I say. I get it from my daddy, the philatelist.
