Gift Exchange

It's Christmas, and tonight we will be doing a little gift exchange. Some people bring presents down, give gift certificates to online stores, make something here, or offer their services (a massage, do your laundry, or take your kitchen cleaning duty for a day).

With help from the carpenter on station, I made a cribbage board of the local boating area. The islands and glaciers are raised up from the water, and the winning hole ends at Palmer Station. Most likely, the gift will end up being donated to the bar.

After the exchange, we'll be playing more Koobs. It's caught on here to the point where we have so many regular players we all need to switch out after each game so everyone can play. Plus, there are people who'd rather not play, but they still love watching from a perch that overlooks what has now come to be the Koob Courtyard. They like to heckle the players.

Sadly, my game is not as hot as I look when I'm playing it.
