that had been "way-laid'.... I'd even ordered really early, but somehow it got re-routed. Very very glad to have found it, though quite a "pain" on Christmas eve to try to pick it up (with one sole overworked UPS worker trying to service a large line of people).

But, the good part of the story is that a very nice man in line offered to heave the package over the icy parking lot and put it into my car. I'm not helpless, but that would have been difficult for me. So extra Merry Christmas thoughts for that man!
