There's a comet just outside my window Hanging in the afterglow of a solar flare And a star like a diamond spilling off of the moon I can feel there's a change, and it's coming on soon . . . I thought it might be an appropriate time of year to express my gratitude for the existence of CASLL and extend my wishes to everybody involved for a restful and restorative holiday. Just outside my window here in New Brunswick, the biggest and nearest full moon in decades is marking the solstice by parading across a clear, cold sky, and reminding me that we're all pretty small and had better be nice to each other. -- Russ __|~_ Russell A.
