Tying Up The Loose Ends of 12 Months

Exactly one year ago today, visitors to this site were greeted with the Yule Log while I was preparing for a trip to Berlin. I stayed at a great pension/guest house in Prenzlauer Berg during that trip.

Today, BoingBoing Gadgets regales us with tales of the Scotch and Sofa, a lounge/bar in Prenzl'berg that features a TV permanently tuned to a Yule Log.

And with that recognition, the year comes full circle. Happy holidays -- seriously, do what you can to enjoy this reflective season even when things are falling apart around us.
