December 18th "The Santaland Diaries"

Nancy and I enjoyed her birthday present from Matt and Katie. They gave her tickets to the Santaland Dairies.  It is a one man play about the time that David Sedaris, in his 30s and out of work, had to suffer the indignities of taking a job as an elf at the Macy's Santaland in New York City. The tale was first performed as a monologue by Sedaris on National Public Radio in 1992.  

December 17 Peacock Lane

After a visit to drop off some packages at Santas Ron and Sue ( Katie's parents) for a sleigh ride down to Klamath Falls, the intrepid explorers braved the crowds to walk down Peacock Lane in SE Portland. It is quite a spectacle.

We capped off the evening with a stop at the Laurelwood Brew Pub for a snack and libation.
