Reflections of a stormy petrel

It strikes me that this LJ has been nothing but gripes lately. (And will be again, as soon as I finish parts 3, 4 and 5 of A plague on both your houses.) So let us mention something cheerful for a change. Anyone who wants a Christmas card for me, signify by commenting and giving me a snail-mail address in the comments below (will be screened, of course). Thank you and my love to everyone.
