We’re celebrating Christmas in Portland this year. It is a white fairy tale outside (when it’s not raining) and it is nice to spend time with the family. Everything would have been perfect if we were both not sick - Petar even lost his voice yesterday and he is only whispering today. He says he feels very helpless!

Merry Christmas and be healthy everyone!

Good news is, we won’t come knocking on YOUR door for a piece of bread for us and a cup of milk for Princess … for now :)

Adobe laid off 8% of its workforce yesterday and thankfully Petar was not on the ’sniper’ list. We can only hope that this was it for the near future …

Recession is phew!
