Santa was very kind to me this year: she let me sign up for four days of classes, gave me permission to volunteer for a three-hour shift two days, and gave me an allowance to shop in the afternoons.
As a side-note, I take the Metro and avoid the hassle and cost of parking downtown. Since I'm an old guy, I get to ride Metro at no charge, and there's no charge for parking where I leave my car. I always limit my purchases since I know I will have to hand-carry them on the Metro.
I am really looking forward to going again. It's an amazing adventure!!
