Merry Christmas

merry christmasMerry Christmas my internet friends and a happy holiday season to those that celebrate other holidays.

I’m spending my Christmas in a place where people string lights around Saguaro cacti, which somehow doesn’t put me in much of a Christmas mood, but that’s the way it goes.

I was going to write a little bit about salad dressing, Paul Newman, the Bolivian Army and how none of us deserves what we get — good or bad — but I decided to just condense it down to that sentence and move on.

So. Another Christmas. There you have it. Hope the holiday finds you with the ones you love, and if not, like the song says, find a way to love the ones you’re with.

Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges
cover image for Ficciones My first hands on with Borges... Absolutely amazing. So far beyond what I've been reading lately (mainly non-fiction and some late 20th century authors).
