Day 1467: Putting Christmas to bed

The garlands are dismantled, packed and tucked away in the attic for another year and I only smashed one bulb.  Not bad considering all the various fragile components.  I vacuumed twice and hope there are no stray fragments of glass left in the carpet.

I made some progress on the conclusion.  It's a different approach, but consistent with the rest of my chapters.  I wrote a long dialogue between us upon our return from an expedition.  It's a very typical conversation we have over the hours, days and weeks following Quest.   We talk about the acts of courage we witnessed, things kids did to make us proud, the disappointments, the worries about the adults, the funny classic skits that we never tire of seeing.  I like it's rhythm, but I'm just not sure.  I'll take it to Penelope on Sunday and see what they think.

My voice is back to about eighty percent and the congestion is much improved.  It's a good thing cause there are only seven days left to finish my book!
