One of my favorite episodes
Can you see the snow?

Snow in Seattle
Flickr: Don NunnYou’ll have to take my word that there really are flakes coming down....
Season’s greetings, happy holidays, and all the other salutations of the time.
Quoted below, one of my all-time favorite songs, and it happens to have a Christmas relevance: The Atheist Christmas Carol by Vienna Teng.
Hear the song:
it’s the season of grace coming out of the void
where a man is saved by a voice in the distance
it’s the season of possible miracle cures
where hope is currency and death is not the last unknown
where time begins to fade
and age is welcome home
it’s the season of eyes meeting over the noise
and holding fast with sharp realization
it’s the season of cold making warmth a divine intervention
you are safe here you know now
don’t forget
don’t forget I love
I love
I love you
it’s the season of scars and of wounds in the heart
of feeling the full weight of our burdens
it’s the season of bowing our heads in the wind
and knowing we are not alone in fear
not alone in the dark
Gorgeous centerpiece

David: Hell if I can figure out how to call about my key.
David: Product key, that is.
Don: Vista?
David: Yeah.
David: Tells me it’s “already in use.”
Don: I believe you need two chickens and a quart of goat’s blood.
David: God.
Been a while since I listed any music, remembered I had the iPod on shuffle overnight while I tried to sleep. Recently reworked my smart playlists to incorporate a balance of ratings vs. play counts and last-played dates, probably does nothing other than make me think I’m not hearing the same songs over and over.

White boxer!
Flickr: Don NunnOut for a ride at Queen Anne Ave N and Mercer St.
We had a white Boxer when I was in high school and college. Named him Moby, of course. Such a fun dog, he died when I was a freshman at USC. I’ve only seen white Boxers a handful of times in the years since.
Got back late last night.
Initial observations on return from the land of la-la to the real world, in no particular order:
I will be writing up some of my experiences from our 10 days in Florida and publishing them over the next few days, but back-dated to the day(s) they originally happened, to reflect their various states of “draft” composition at this moment. Also more photos here and on Flickr.
