This morning opened up what’s supposed to be a series of never-breaking-freezing days here in Denver until at least after we’ve headed out to Faerie for the Holidays. And, indeed, the temps today never even cracked the double-digits, so far as I spotted on the thermometer.<\/p>\n
Which made it a good day for a fire, and popcorn, and egg nog with a bit of Irish.<\/p>\n
Tonight was the Lessons & Carols service at church, which we might have blown off if Margie and I hadn’t volunteered to do a couple of the Lessons \/ Readings. And since Margie is feeling a bit under the weather, Katherine and I went and I did both readings (the rather downer Genesis tale of Adam passing the buck to Eve, and Eve to the Serpent, when God catches them all aware of their nekkidnesss, and the much upper tale of the shepherds abiding in their fields, etc.).<\/p>\n
All in all, a nice day. Should have done more with the Christmas shopping, but so be it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
