The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Yesterday, it was 70 F in Fort Worthless and after work I put on shorts. Today, it's twenty degrees cooler and rainy, which is better, but still not in the least Christmasy. Thank Bog for bowl season, the only clue that Christmas is actually near! A concerted effort on multiple fronts would be necessary for me to care less about TCU-Northern Illinois, but at least it's a bowl game. And when the loser bowls have started, Christmas is just around the corner! * * * Edited to conform to new anti-whining standards and protocols * * *; so, I am tremendously grateful for this concrete reminder that Christmas, home, hearth, family, and friends are tantalizingly near. Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!

Christmas!
