I get to spend the next two weeks with Becky and Zeke doing not much of anything, so I’m in a mood to celebrate. This rendition by Los Lobos of a very, very solemn seasonal hymn may be all traditional and stuffy, but I like it nonetheless.

   hope your break is very enjoyable!  please give zeke an ear rub from one of his adoring fans.

   i’m pretty sure i just saw you and becky at the market [joshua tree cap?], but thought it would be weird being chatted up by a stranger in line.  also, i felt like a stalker, thinking i recognized someone from cyberspace in real life.

   it’s the funniest thing, i see everyone at that store:  people i used to work with, former teachers of my kids, out-of-touch friends. i half-expect some kind of reunion when i walk in the door. next time, i won’t be so shy.

   This is the bestest Christmas song ever. Too bad it’s not on YouTube. The Canadian duo Bowser and Blue do an excellent cover of it.
