Grama Julie, Orion, and Grampa Dave
We took them to the Oly UU candlelight service. Orion fell asleep in my arms. The service concluded with “Silent Night” by candlelight. “Slee-eep in heavenly peace…”
When we woke him up he was ravenous for cheese pizza and root beer, but Old School was closed!
We went to Apollo’s Pizza and Pasta [what, no website?!]. We got him the Cheese Pita Pizza, and he asked for a second one, but was denied. Grampa Dave did us get a second pitcher of root beer. The waiter convinced us that switching to “bottomless glasses” would be cheaper even if he put it in the pitcher. We had the Mediterranean Pizza: pesto, chicken, artichoke hearts. And split a small Greek Salad.
They told us about the play I’d sent them to in Chelsea, The Poetry of Pizza. The male lead, a Kurd, woos the visiting poetry professor with his unconventional pizzas. He carves vegetable flowers on them. She orders 28 of them but doesn’t eat them. She gives them names like The Passion Pizza and The Kiss.
It was a world premiere by internationally renowned playwright Deborah Brevoort. They got to see closing night.
After our meal, Orion showed off his running! Up and down the sidewalk between Apollo’s and the boat store.
Then we went to Top Foods for supplies. Trish’s Aunt Karen & Uncle Greg sent us a full turkey dinner, but we didn’t have a large enough roasting pan. We had intended to buy a disposable tin foil one. Wouldn’t you know it, on X-mas eve they were sold out, but they did have the permanent kind for $20.
In addition to buying us dinner, Julie bought us one of those too!

[...] Orion had a kid’s cheese pizza, of course. And Root Beer. (We were continuing the pizza theme, started with the Poetry of Pizza show and continued by the dinner at Apollo’s) [...]
