@kdfrawg Not sure whether it would be easier, specially now that we do not have any domestic help in the house. That's being said, it would definitely be fun having someone in the family around during the festive season, you know..

Like December 31st, 2014, wife invited a bunch of church prayer group friends for tomorrow night new year's eve dinner. If not all, most of them do not drink alcohol. So, I can't offer them. But I wouldn't mind a glass of whiskey or vodka. Oh, even ready-to-drink Long Island Ice Tea

@kdfrawg Believe me, the last time we travelled to Sri Lanka for Christmas was about 5 years ago. After that every year we had either in-laws or extended family visiting us here to spend Christmas with us.

I might want to take a nap in a short while

Not sure though my company will get those for us. They just implemented BYOD for smart phones, moving away from company provided BlackBerry devices

Oh, it's made by HP and not Microsoft:)

I thought Microsoft stopped making mobile phones…?

Had to go pick part time house help lady from the train station. By order off Mrs.

I knew you wouldn't let that happened :)

Finished lunch, which consisted of a few home-made dishes brought in from Sri Lanka :)
