Good to hear from you, Roger!

Even my kids
have started to complain that it's always dark outside, and there I
was thinking that they hadn't noticed from all the computer gaming
that they are up to.

The one light (pardon the pun) in this season is Monday- St. Lucia day. Not
a big one in this country, but it is in my family. Both my Swedish heritage
and my younger daughter's birthday landing on December 13 make it a good
day. It'll be candles and Lussekatter at our house Monday morning!

Of course at roughly 41 degrees north, we get sunrise at about 8 and it goes
back down just before 5.

So, anyone still fishing? Or have you had to give up on this season?

Steelhead are running for those so inclined, and it has been (relatively)
warm and snow-free here in Cleveland.

I'd actually like it to start snowing soon so we can get out the cross
country skis.

Cheers!
