What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.

Merry Christmas, errybody
Ah, the balmy days of an Alabama winter. Our family just got back from Christmas in Tampa, Florida, where we attended my cousin Charlie Gage's wedding, a delightful affair in perfect weather. It never gets below 50 degrees in Tampa, in case you were wondering. Things are nice here in Montgomery, too; I wear shorts in the morning when I jog, and short sleeves all day. Yesterday my sister and I had to turn on the air conditioning in her car as we drove around town. So far the break has been warm, relaxing, and restful, so no worries here. Hope all of you are enjoying the same.
