it was a teriyaki friday because of being able to use Steve's car. he and his family are on their way to Maui. i will use his car to pick them up on new year's day late night. though not as cold as Manhattan, it was quite cold in my apartment when i returned home so i did use the heater for the first time in about 7 years. also i opened some Christmas cards that i arrived while i was gone. and a nice Christmas package from my little sister and her husband.
