I hadn't heard of this book until I saw the review, but it's about one of my favourite topics (not to say obsessions), and I'm eager to read it.

It'll be a very quiet Christmas with the protonuclear family this year. Not one but two sick kitties this time, and since our vet is closed until Tuesday we're hoping that no one needs emergency assistance beyond what we can give  (although, thank goodness, we're less than ten minutes from the emergency hospital now--I just wish I had an emergency bank account to accompany me there).

It's pretty splendid not to have to contemplate work for a whole week and a bit. I'm going to avoid checking the work e-mail as long as I can (and no BB means no one intruding on me unless I take an active step to invite them to do so). 

I can hardly believe that 2012 is almost here. Still hoping for The Big Revelation--or, more accurately, The Big Confirmation. But I'm definitely not holding my breath.
