Washington, DC (USA)

I teleworked in the morning.  Surprisingly, Mollie was up by 0830 and we ate breakfast together.  Mollie rested for most of the morning but also took all the ornaments off the Christmas Tree.  She also made us lunch (rice with steak and potatoes poured over, apples).  I then teleworked again while Mollie did chores and read for most of the rest of the afternoon.  I went into the city in the late afternoon (1615) and Mollie stayed home.  Met Kelly at 1831 Bar and Lounge at Dupont Center (1645).  More people showed up later: Joe R., Trinka, Stephanie, Jens, Kuldeep, Kim.  We stayed until 1945 and I helped Kelly retrieve her car from the parking garage (2000).  I then took her to Van Dorn, where she caught an Uber home.  I drove home after that.  I had been checking on Mollie all night and when I got home (2130), I found her watching "The Patriot".  I opened up her Christmas gift for me (winter hats with head-lamps for hiking).  Bed time was around 2300.
