With two weeks to go until the baby's due date, mom and dad are still trying to get out and about. Friday night they left me to go to the tree lighting ceremony at Fashion Island. Dad kept referring to it at work as Grand Illumination and people looked at him oddly. Mom said it was definitely not the same as the real Grand Illumination in Williamsburg. But given that Grand Illumination is the same as D-Day, she can't go this year. So, this will have to do. Saturday night they went to the symphony - Symphony No. 9 in D Major, Gustav Mahler.
