I have a lot to catch up on here in the land of beep. I have thoughts to organize, photos to sort and process, and maybe even things to say. Here’s all I can manage tonight, as I am now officially a pumpkin. It’s the Christmas lights on my parents’ deck, shot through the condensation on the window of what used to be the “screen door” in the wee hours of New Year’s Eve (not New Year’s Day).
