holiday season

it's funny how fast time flies from the end of fall to the new year.  a few months ago, we were completely consumed with packing for our vacation to myanmar (pics which i've barely started to edit) and came back to digging dahlia tubers, then packing the dahlia tubers and then thanksgiving.  after that, christmas shopping, holiday parties, etc.  all throughout those weeks, pete and i were greedily watching episodes upon episodes of, first, house of cards and then breaking bad.  (now i remember why i swore off television.)  and sometime this past week, i finally woke up to this serial phenomenon and became intensely hooked.  so anyways, that is what's been going on with me....
