EAT A GOOD BREAKFAST. Have some scrambled eggs by Paul McCartney.
Apologies for the brief preceding commercial on the video, for 20 seconds.
Gary's nineth blogiverary will be December 30th.
He's doing well, enjoying visitors to a so-far largely shut-in, though I've made it out for 7 walks in seven weeks, though only three longer than a short block away, and all three only two long blocks or so away, specifically, from Alcatraz Avenue to Ashby Avenue, twice, and once down to Telegraph, and back, which was way way too much, but push one's limits, you know, to find them, and then improve them.
On December 30th, 2001, I wrote and posted my first pathetic entry on Amygdala; it took a couple of weeks to get the hang of formatting.
More blogging should resume in within the first two weeks of 2011, if not the first week. I'm looking forward to it, and I hope at least a few of you left reading this might do the same.
I'm still commenting away like mad at Obsidian Wings, as I have since early 2003. Look for me there, if interested, or in thoughtful, non-short, intelligent and mostly courteous discussion of policy, people's live, and that which strikes our fancy.
My most recent comments, as I write this, are in this thread, this thread, and this thread.
Not completely ancient posts: blog posts at Obsidian Wings No Escape, Why Argue On Blogs? The Dunning-Kruger Effect, and A Periodic Table of Blog Commenters.
The Cracks Between The Paving Stones and Waste Not, Want Not.
So Gross And Notorious An Act Of Despotism.
The Next Governor Of Ohio.
Bin Laden's True Followers.
Best Buy.
Which Came First: The Regulation Or The Egg?
Don't Do The Cybercrime If You Can't Do The Time.
Enough About You: Let's Talk About Me. Semi-formal introduction post.
Keep Them Doggies Movin'. Mostly open thread: Uh, Oh, You May Be Wearing Muslim Garb!
Don't Fear The Reaper.
I should be posting front page posts there, and here again, Real Soon Now, management informs us, although I must say that management can be quite erratic.
Some of the least ancient, not jammed with my own boring life, posts here: ALL HALLOW'S MORNING, MOVING IS LIKE A-B-C, 1-2-3, this, STUCK INSIDE OF MOBILE WITH THE MEMPHIS BLUES AGAIN, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, and back through most of the month of October, 2010.
View The Rest Scale on the video: optional; only if you like Sir Paul, and/or the song "Yesterday," and have never heard the original lyrics, "Scrambled Eggs," sung by Sir Paul McCartney, which unless you've seen this before, you haven't.
Season's felicitations.
Some thoughts from a few recent ObWi comments, in no particular order, because I'm just lazy:
Az me redt a sach, redt men fun zich.
Es shtait dokh geshribn: khokhme—shtikeh.
Es tut zich nit azoi gut vi es redt zich. Okay, I'll give everyone the easy way.
Posadas Navidena. Merry Yule. Happy Yuletide, Yulefest, Yules, Jul, Juletid, Julfest, Jül, Jól, Joul, Joulu, Jõulud, Joelfeest, Géol, Feailley Geul.
May you have a Joyous Kwanzaa in four days, if you celebrate it.
Sorry I missed Bodhi Day on the 8th, but I was meeting the Buddha on the road.
May your fast of Ashura have gone well on your day of grief, if appropriate, and may Muharram pass peacefully.
If you observe Zarthost No Deeso, or the death of the Prophet on December 26th CE, may you have peace.
If Qaid-i-Azam's birthday is one of your observations, peace be upon you on the 25th.
If you observe Dōngzhì Festival, have a happy one!
Merry Koleda and happy Kolyada.
Have a fine Boxing Day, Day of Goodwill, Feast of St Stephen, and/or Proclamation Day. (Gosh I sure know a lot of Britons, Aussies, and others from the traditions of Empire and Commonwealth.)
Have some fine single malt for me on Hogmanay.
May my friend (or friends, aside from those who send me invitations to marry them) in the Phillipines have an excellent Rizal Day.
May Holy Innocents day pass well for you.
I didn't fast for Asarah b’Tevet, but I know you would have wished me a good fast if I did, and you thought I did.
May all enjoy Global Minute of Peace Day.
Just imagine you read that December 22, 2010 at 07:04 PM, if you like.
Peace.
(No, I haven't forgotten Asenath Katrina Hammond/Neith/DominEditrix; postponed, not forgotten. 7/21/1950 -- 11/22/2010. R.I.P., properly punctuated; requiescat in pace.)

Some thoughts from a few recent ObWi comments, in no particular order, because I'm just lazy:
[...] "Some people will pick a fight over anything."And: Mazel tov. Kenen oyf di finger.
While there are some who deliberately pick the fight for various political reasons, my observance is that most of the people sore about "the War On Christmas" are simply people who live in communities that are overwhelmingly Christian, and like all us humans, have some trouble imagining a life different than our own, or those right in front of us.
It's almost all simply parochialism.
And we're all parochial. We all live in our own provinces, visiting only others, even if we do naught but travel unendingly: it's all but a slice, and a brief glimpse of The Other.
“When men understand what each other mean, they see, for the most part, that controversy is either superfluous or hopeless.”
-- Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman
