Merry Christmas!

25-Dec-08

All hail the return of the unconquered sun! Many thanks to all my friends and family, who have brought such joy (and rum-fueled eggnog) into my life.

May your next whirl on our planet be filled with the caress of lovers and the camaraderie of friends.

Also, may your enemies get herpes and die.
