It’s 4:30 am on the last Monday morning of the year. (I’m not sure if the timestamp settings are set to GMT here or what, but I thought I’d clarify that the last time I put something up here, it was after 3am on Christmas Eve night, and I was headed to bed. [...]

…the beagle woke me up at 5:20.  Not a pretty start to the season.
However, there was a beautiful layer of snow on the ground, and it was both a new month and a new week and the first day back to regular life after a long and highly diversional weekend.
