When we got in, I had to let the D100 warm up. It had gotten buried under a couple of bags, and so without car heat, the battery had dropped low enough I had to reset the clock. I had to nurse the battery along -- of course I hadn't packed a second battery, since I didn't bring a bag.
So forgive the crappy quality...

Mrs. Dr. Phil had gotten a box from Amazon -- her gift was supposed to be giftwrapped. Instead the box came in a swell blue fabric gift bag with a gold ribbon. Unexpected and rather nice. (Click on photo for larger.)
