The good news: I’m taking a week or so off because … well, because it’s the Christmas season and I’m the laziest hardworking man in the blogosphere. (Or the hardest-working lazy man. I’m never sure which it is.)

There is no bad news.

Enjoy the holidays and I hope that your blessings are many, as are mine. If you’ve got four minutes to kill and a taste for fractured carols, watch this. Otherwise, see you next week.
