First Christmas in a new house, first time climbing on the roof to hang lights. Turned out ok I think.
One of the things I enjoy most is being a pedestrian in a city I’m visiting for the first or second time. I miss that. #mbnov
I try to wear as few figurative masks as possible. A literal mask doesn’t particularly bother me though. #mbnov
Watching Home Alone and thought I recognized the voice of the guy who plays Santa. Looked him up on IMDB. He has 50+ credits, including one in post-production this year. But I didn’t recognize him in anything else until I got down to Groundhog Day, where he’s “Man in Hallway”.
Also re: the #bcbs I don’t go early so I don’t usually face the dilemma of which variant to choose. This time though there were three variants — fog, caramella and Special No. 4. I got the Special. Not sure I’ve ever even bought a variant before. #mbnov

It’s taken some time to adjust to a new house, especially this year, but a Thanksgiving bonfire is one new tradition I can get behind. #mbnov
C: Is Jeremy getting the call?
Dana: He’s getting the call.
J: I’m getting the call?
Dan: You’re getting the call.
J: I don’t know what that means.
Elliot: It means you’re getting the call.
J: Really?
E: Yeah.
J: I still don’t know what that means.

MPR’s choral music streaming radio is a blessing and a curse right now. Words can’t express how much I miss singing in a group. I am thankful for the work put into these recordings and the ability to listen to them for free. But my goodness, I ache. There is no true substitute.
One of my favorite sections of Every Moment Holy is the Liturgies of Petition and Provision. “For Those Flooded by Too Much Information”, “For Those Who Covet the Latest Technology”, and of course “For the Ritual of Morning Coffee”. Really looking forward to Vol. 2 in Feb. #mbnov
