*  Got to the Palm Springs tram station before 11:45, and took the tram up to the Mountain station.  Had lunch there, then I wandered around outside for awhile in the cold and snow.  Took some pictures.  Found Linda in the Gift Shop.  We were off the mountain and in our motel room by 3 p.m.

*  Checked my email, posted Best of the Genea-Blogs - 6 to 12 January 2013 (it was in Draft, not ready to be published, so late!).  Had a nap, went to dinner, edited my presentation a bit on the laptop.
