It’s the holiday season
Spent most of yesterday afternoon on the roof stringing lights. Fortunately, it was 60F, clear, and sunny here in California, unlike back east where they’re having huge weather.
I’m having a hard time getting my head into “holiday season” mode, though. Perhaps I’ve gotten too disconnected from mass media? I don’t see TV ads, I don’t go shopping at the mall, I don’t see most web ads, and the bushels of seasonal catalogs and junk mail go straight into the recycling bin. They don’t have Christmas plays at school either, although this year we did manage to catch the remastered “Charlie Brown Christmas” special on broadcast TV. I need to get my copy of the Vince Guaraldi Trio’s soundtrack album off vinyl and onto the server.
We were also up in San Francisco last week, the lights in Union Square were nice.
