Day 8 Finale

The last Chanukah lighting is always the bittersweet one, going out with a big nova.  I’m sad my son didn’t get to celebrate with us, but on the other hand, he’s back safely on the ground and in town.  I’m anticipating his visit.  I foresee a latkes reprise in our immediate future.

Outside, the snowmelt is pouring off the roof like waterfalls, but the ground is still dusted with white.  The average weather for this time of year should be almost twenty degrees warmer than it’s been, and continues to be.  A snowstorm affecting much of the southeast before xmas is not normal.  But then nowhere on earth is safe from human shortsightedness.
