Don’t tell Jody, but I snuck out of the apartment yesterday for a tennis date with the lovely young lady pictured above. Not a bad way to spend the first day of winter.

It’s a rainy day in Malibu today, so we plan to just be indoor lazy. Tomorrow’s plan includes some last-minute shopping. And Christmas Eve plans include a trip to Hollywood to watch “A Christmas Carol” at the Kodak Theatre (starring John Goodman & Christopher Lloyd) and an evening service at the Stauffer Chapel with our church family.

If Jody didn’t have to work today and tomorrow, and if Erica was with us, it would look like a perfect week. But I’d better not complain when blessed so nicely – it’s a pretty good-looking week as is.
