Holiday Luncheon with the office staff (Chris, Cindy, Rodney, Ena, Debrah, Melissa, James, Joel, and me) at Gordon Biersch. Unfortunately, Debrah couldn't go because she needed to resolve class scheduling problems with another office. Cindy and Chris let us go shopping for a few hours afterwards—very thoughtful of them, as many of us hadn't yet finished our Christmas shopping. I stopped at FAO Schwartz to get a gift for Patrick. After we returned, we worked a little more and then did the gift exchange. Patrick got deli items from Harvest Grocery for dinner. Watched The Grinch on DVD with Patrick.
