Happy Holidays

For those city dwellers (or prudent suburbanites and exurbanites) who lack their own fireplaces or can't find a neighborhood pub or friend with one to share, I'm happy to bring you the wonder and joy of the Yule Log. 

If you're travelling this season, feel free to download your own from the fine folks at Tribune Broadcasting. I do remember seeing the Yule Log a few times on WPIX when spending Christmas with my grandmother in New York, but my current interest is more curious than nostalgic.  I also prefer the sound of the logs crackling to piped-in carols, but feel free to poke around the interwebs for those variations.

And if you're within range of an Internet connection between 6:00pm on the 24th and 6:00pm on the 25th, I encourage you to stop by WPRB.com and listen in to the 20th Annual Jon Solomon Holiday Marathon, now in its 19th edition (with a hiatus in 1995 for the once-in-a-lifetime experience of seeing Northwestern University in the Rose Bowl).  If I can plan to tune in from 6 time zones away after a 8-hour flight, then perhaps you can find a few minutes to share in the experience too.

Best wishes to all for a peaceful end of the year.
