Happy Holidays to All

There's no denying it. Sometimes what makes me happiest and most optimistic is not to blog. The pressure of even a self-imposed deadline--and the guilt of missing it again and again--are detracting from my efforts to savor the warm fuzziness of this time of year.
So I'm taking an officially sanctioned break. Back in a week or so. Merry New Year and Happy Christmas.
Before I go, here's an item I found in the London Evening Standard about obesity and Santa. Normally I applaud every effort to exercise, but this is pretty weird. It sounds like one of those news hoaxes people are so fond of, but there are quite a few comments and no indication it's fake. So enjoy!
