Happy Holidays From The Borough

I know you were expecting my usual politically correct - non-specific winter e-mail greeting. It's the non-tree using way I've been saying "Happy Holidays" for the last few years.

This year however, I'm feeling the Yule vibe. And in just a few hours comes the Solstice (1:08 AM Saturday, for those who care). So enjoy the time with family and friends. Eat too much chocolate. Spread the magic and joy. Give away an old coat. Revel in the fact that the days only get longer from this point on.

Sending warm wishes and butter cookies.

First Snow In The Borough

And a lovely Sunday morning it was, with crisp white snow everywhere In The Borough.

I wasn't adventurous enough to go up to the park and see if the snow was folded around the trees that only a few days earlier had been bright red and full of leaves, but I'm sure they were.

I'm looking forward to some BIG snows this season...
