The professor

When I first started my own Christmas card list, back in1986, I suppose the big question was who to include on it. Looking back at that list (yeah, I still have it, what's odd about that?), I see it's mostly friends, a few close relatives, and co-workers. Within a few years, the list expanded slightly to include parents of close friends. Just a couple, really, for families that I felt really close to or even part of, in some sense. Families that included me, along with their own children (my friends) in certain gatherings. I was reminded of that yesterday when I received a card from Stix's dad and his wife.
