December 25, 1998

Another Christmas.

Most of the staff went home. Dr. Diana Davis drove to the Los Angeles area. Major Maggie Beckett is spending Christmas with Dr. Steven Jensen and his family. Dr. Isaac Clark had his daughter Catherine over.

Elizabeth Mallory by now is with her son and his alternate family in his new world.

I had a quiet evening alone, with some wine, some turkey I got from Vons, and Christmas music playing on the radio.

I had now spent more Christmases on this world than with my sliding companions!

I could still that first Christmas with them, back in 1994. It wasn't a very eventful Christmas, except that Quinn, Wade, and Rembrandt were away from their respective families.

I wondered what they were up to, considering what Marc LeBeau told me about interdimensional invaders conquering their world, my birth world.
