Recommended actions: fluffy quilt, warm dogs, liquor-of-choice and some tasty Yuletide reading.

And if that isn't in your future, please drive safely. It's always easier to laugh about missing the get-together than bemoan the crashed fender.

Our plane has changed course a bit to skirt a storm--I wonder if it''s this one?

So glad the card arrived! - I only managed to get to the Post Office on the last possible day for overseas deliveries.

Here in the UK it has suddenly got a lot colder, but although yesterday was grey and dank and a bit sleety, today is at least beautifully bright and sunny (haven't been out to find out if this is combined with a cutting wind, though).

Next year at Wiscon!
