Reunions, New Friends

The holiday season is also remarkable for the reunions of friends and family under joyous circumstances. In my adult life, I have appreciated this very aspect of it. And now, it's afforded Hannah the opportunity to meet some of my long-time friends.

Corbin and Hsin-Lun paid a visit yesterday and gave Hannah some very generous gifts. Corbin was intent on making a positive first impression. I believe I would be quoting him correctly when he said "I want Hannah to associate me with fun."


Later he offered to feed Hannah again saying "I want her to associate me with nourishment."


When Hsin-Lun noted that this left her in the cold, Corbin noted that if she plays her cards right "Hannah would associate Hsin-Lun with Corbin," which would be a good thing, indeed.



In all, Hsin-Lun and Corbin made a great first impression. Hannah had a great time and got a fun new toy with which to remember it.
