Happy holidays to all my new acquaintances and your families from a guy who wandered in here to learn.

Thank you.  I have sent my son to his father's family Christmas with his grandmother (Graham had to work) and am reveling in some alone time.  I may get up and do some sewing for myself in a bit, or I may stay here watching whatever movies I want to.  It's about the only present I've gotten this year so far (my family's gathering is on the third, the day before my mom's seventy-second birthday), but it's a nice one.

Same to you BK, and the same best wishes to all of the other AH forum denizens.

Merry Christmas to all.  We celebrated opening presents, eating too much turkey and going to see Star Wars.

Going to see Star Wars  will be a 2016 event for us,waiting for the lines to be shorter.

We had crisis.  We should see it next week, unless more goes wrong.

I'm very happy with one particular T-shirt I received as a present:

Hand drawn picture of the LM on the Moon.

Above it is the caption: "We were there"

Below it is the caption: "Get over it"

That is about as obscurely Apollo geeky as one's clothing can get.  I want mine with an image of the appropriate Apollo CM panel on it.
