Check out the standard wordpress holiday theme (with snowflakes falling) and let’s yuletide!
The last week and the next two weekends give us a little empathy for those who get stressed and grouchy over the holidays. Not saying this is really a valid response, but with the amount of stuff going on, I can understand it. We have full weekends and numerous items during the week, not to mention the shopping, planning, etc. It’s a good, positive, energy, though, but still somewhat manic.
It will be good to get some time off around the holidays, and maybe recharge some of the batteries, relax, and re-emphasize. I’ve noticed that Beemsville is down to about a post a week since November, and I’d like to keep it at the 2-3 range. The rest will help, and it’s not like we’re lacking for topics. After all, Blago got sentenced and we didn’t even comment! But here’s a pretty good editorial summary…
Am also finishing up a long book, have some thoughts on the new Illini football coach, and the US Olympic Soccer Team has some intriguing possibilities. Maybe we will actually get out to see a movie again… Stay tuned.
