Because aren't we all under-estimated??

Oh, I think so! Sometimes, at least. ;-)

You watch your mailbox too... the holiday letter went out on, um, Tuesday I think, so it might even get there tomorrow if luck is with me.

I love Hermione at least partly because she is who I was in school. Too clever for her own good, and not pretty (though I like film!Hermione, she's a little too attractive).

Have a splendid holiday (in case I don't "see" you again before the 25th)!
