Xmas, 06, looking back and ahead

The secular I still loved remembering carols. Does the argument, It's the melody not the words, pass? Does every passing year seem more eventful? Stunted growth is good - especially the year we all agreed the globe is warming and didn't ask what's after that? If wishes were horses, less predictable everydays, peacemores, maple syrup please.

Thankyou PSE - power restored after 47 hours:-)

Storm for the books

This 1 is for the books. No power yet. Starbucks is a true haven:-) The campus was closed. Amazing how connectivity has become a given.The lack of it has created an interesting milieu - teenagers gathering at 37F weather at street corners. Jam packed movie halls in the only powered downtown cinema. I was yearning for even a kerosene stove where I can brew my own tea and rasam! Twigs everywhere. The 100 mile winds had me wondering about the windows. The morning after was weird. This will pass too. PSE - restore my power!
