Went to a bridge/tree lighting ceremony tonight.

It was low-key, and fun. My wife wanted us to get out more this Christmas, and do stuff, and as usual she had a smart idea. It was a very nice night for December, and watching the kids all have a good time was cheering. It was also funny when our county executive started doing his bits in the proceedings, because he was clearly the only one in the group who knew how to use a microphone. It’s a real skill.
