Birthday Boys.

12-12-12 SHORT HILLS: This is the last triple number date until the next century, unless they add a month to the calendar this before the end of 2013.

We came back from California on the red eye, arriving Monday AM, and were home before daybreak. We picked up the dogs after 9 AM and were pretty much done for the rest of the day after that.

The warm spell over the weekend, now gone, encouraged the forsythia to pop open a few flowers, probably the last blooms of the year.

Last night we had dinner with Bill and Lynn at Taste of Asia in Chatham, excellent as usual. They are off to Cancún for the weekend.
