Still here!

Yes, I am still here. Many distractions and scheduling crunches have elbowed their way into this moving-toward-Christmas season. But this afternoon I dug down to the actual surface of my desk, and have been promised a day of rotten weather tomorrow, which will be perfect for staying in and writing. There is so much to tell. For now, today is the first Sunday of Advent, and here in New York City a beautiful snow drifted down from the grey morning sky. Because I only found my way to it last Lent, this was the first time I have seen the Cathedral through falling snow.
It's a really BIG snow globe...
