One of the joys of current awareness via the Internet is the ease of finding content not before available. For example, I enjoy [that may not be the right word] editorial cartoons and it is easy to get a rss feed for many quality cartoonists who publish in distant newspapers. Although sometimes harsh, I have particular admiration for Jeff Danziger. Not a good choice though for the more politically conservative viewer.

Minimal Christmas is an image of the only ornament on a miniature conifer in our side yard. You may even be able to see the photographer.

I'm back, but I didn't go anywhere

Because of unexpected snow to the Northeast, our Saturday departure was cancelled and we spent a gray, gloomy “weakend” at home. Time for reading, grumbling, and watching basketball on TV. Cats and dog were pleased that we stayed at home. Much lap time for the former.

Away from the computer on the weekend

I’ll let the iMac rest on Saturday and Sunday while I take a break. Will be back on Monday.

In fact, it would have been a good day to stay in bed and ignore the world. Still, the dog needed to be walked so out we went in the morning and late afternoon.
