Time flows, tree glows

[darkoshi]

This year, I took the ornaments off the Christmas tree on May 27. I left the tree up, still enamored with the Twinkle lights on it which can be set to many different color combinations and effects. Today I took the silver garland off the tree branches. I'm still enamored of the lights and won't take the tree down at all this year (possibly the first time ever). It's too late anyway; no point in taking it down now just to put it up again in a few months. In December, maybe I will take it over to Qiao's house for a change.

I have watched both the Olympics and the Paralympics opening ceremonies. Both were wonderful. I have the closing ceremonies recorded, ready to watch.
