Papa and Marmee returned to Williamsburg today for the first time in a month. They stopped by Bangor, Maine on the way home, naturally, as that's where the C-117 dropped them off.
They say they miss The Dragon Boss (and us), but they're not mourning the separation. Since TDB last saw them, they drove right on through Austria to Brixen, Italy, decided they wanted to be back in Garmisch, and drove right back, getting the last hotel in town for the year.
Good thing they did, too, otherwise they never would have seen the German heartthrob, Martin Schmitt, land 131 meters from where he took off. They're the first in our family to see a World Cup Ski jump, the New Year's Eve Four-Hills-Tournament no less, and they're full of stories to tell TDB in Christmases to come, like if you don't get ski-jumping by the time you're eight, more likely six really, then it's probably too late as the fear takes hold. We definitely want TDB to be a robust, brave boy, but I think we'll be fine if he never stares down a ski jump.
