Peace on Earth; Goodwill Toward All

It's been such a joy to read the comments and get feedback in person on this blog over the past 9 or so months, I'd like to take a moment to thank those who've participated in making it a place I look forward to returning to every day. As Bambino and I head off to the heartland for hopefully a white and certainly a Merry Little Christmas with the Winkleman clan, I'd like to send you all the warmest Seasons Greetings.

We should be back mid next week, but I'm not at all sure whether B.W.E.N. (bloggin while egg noggin) is gonna be possible (probably depends on whether we're stuck in airports or not, but...), so I'll also take this opportunity to wish (as cliched as it is, I'm hard pressed to come up with anything I'd rather see) for Peace on Earth and Goodwill toward all God's creatures in the coming new year.
