Happy Holidays

And Bill O'Reilly be damned.

I'm really off, here -- I would normally have wished you all the joy of the season a couple of days ago, but time and I are coming to have a somewhat adversarial relationship, something akin to my relationship with inanimate objects. It's not quite that bad, actually -- mostly we just ignore each other.

At any rate, I am going to light a green candle and think about the turning of the year for a while, and, since most of us celebrate this time of year, even if we don't all celebrate exactly the same thing, I want to wish you all a hopeful and blessed season and good things in the coming year.
