Post Holiday Post

Distance, illness and weather kept us from gathering this holiday as we usually do. But eventually, the east coast contingent of my family came together for presents, food, conversation and controlled chaos. We solved a few world problems — though gun violence and climate change continue to elude us — and had some laughs, too.

Now we're back home watching the snow fall. No walking in the suburbs today.

It's time to stay inside, read and make soup.
