We didn’t exactly kill the fatted calf. We did cook up a feast fit for the Prince himself. We are very happy. He looks fine. He’s lost some weight but I’ll personally fix that. Bayliss the tail-less is wiggling out of his skin, he’s so thrilled to see Son. We’ve gotten the rules and regulations posted. The rehab center made it abundantly clear we must follow all protocol to the letter. I think we can accommodate. Christmas is gonna be fine this year. We are blessed. ---

So glad to hear this. There is nothing like having a child safely home again. Just revel in that. The laundry can wait. The Wreks have certainly paid their dues this year, many times over. May you all live in uninteresting times all of next year. ---
