Greetings from Everett and Edmonds

Very quickly -- we're watching the penultimate episode of Dune: Prophecy after a lovely afternoon and evening in Snohomish County. We started in Everett at the Funko HQ store, which has lots of holiday fannish decorations and mini LOTR figures, then at the Evergreen Arboretum's Wintertide Lights, a free display of trees, bushes, paths, and "water" covered in fairy lights among the statues always in the garden and gnomes placed for the season. 

Then we drove to Edmonds, whose main shopping area is also beautifully decorated for the season, where we met Daniel, Cahaya, Sally, and Bill for dinner at the excellent Fire & The Feast -- I had pear and gorgonzola pizza with hot cider, and we all shared bourbon chocolate mousse for dessert. We caught bits of the day's football games (KC beating Cleveland, Baltimore blowing out the Giants, Seattle losing and losing its quartersback).
