I just had a homemade snickerdoodle. I’m waiting for my pot of tea to steep. And, I just read how soon a friend’s head or heart is going to explode in some messy excess pressure moment via his weblog.

Soon as I have some tea, I”ll be stringing some more lights around the place and the tree, whilst letting some bread dough rise. Life is grand.

No snow, no slush and, thanks to the generousity of a major philanthropic organization, no work from about 2:30 p.m. PST yesterday until Tuesday.

HO HO HO.
