Been a While

It's been a while since I've posted anything. It's not that nothing has happened, but that I've simply been remiss. Spring ended, summer came and went, fall happened and now winter is exerting its grip with predictable tenacity.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, one of my favorite days of the year. Light in darkness. The anticipation I still feel, much like a kid, of Christmas. Thank you, Lord, for the freshness of the Incarnation ... still.

On Christmas Day we leave for Germany for a week. Back on New Year's Day, having spent New Year's Eve in Munich, home of the Hofbrauhaus. Germany is also the home to many of the Christmas traditions that surround the holiday, both secular and religious, especially in Bavaria (southern Germany).

Jan, Jordan, Dylan and Jordan's boyfriend, Matt, are making the trip. It'll be good.
