Despite the first class travel, my mission was grueling and tiresome, but rewarding. I expect the Fashion Mafia to be pleased with my work at the North Pole.

Upon my return, I discovered many an e-mail in my Inbox. It seems my readers missed my year-in-review lists. Oh, how nice it is to be adored.

Not only do my readers adore me, but it appears Basher does too. He left me quite a few messages while I was away. We have not spoken in ages, but he is coming to Toronto for a game, so he wants to get together for dinner.
