The funny thing is that while the cards were being printed, I was down in Brazil, and on my last day there my friend and I went up to the statue [which he had never seen]. There were low clouds and a bit of thunder, and you could see people's hair standing up ... and at one point when I was standing beside the statue you could actually hear electricity crackling off the hand of the statue above, which was really eerie. We decided it was best to head back down the mountain at that point! A half hour later, there were lightning bolts everywhere.
I was thinking the whole time it would be a supreme irony were I killed by lightning up there, just after making it our Christmas card.
Our odds of getting the job are still the same, and I'm realistic about them. I just thought it was like sending a postcard of what we're working on ... and at the same time, it does have more of a Christmas angle than another picture of Streamsong.
