Christmas Eve Eve is what it is, and busy busy busy is what I shall be. But it's always the way. All actual holiday-related stuff is sorted. Now it's making sure I get all my work done -- at work -- so I can leave here with a clear conscience this afternoon.

This time two years ago ... in fact, almost literally this time two years ago as I calculate GMT ... I was in a Manchester hospital after being the unwitting victim of an angry mob at an airport. Not the most fabulous of memories. I'd prefer to remember yesterday two years ago when I hiked up to Sleddale and how the results of that one last-minute trip have followed me since then. Yep, hike on up and check the graffiti on the leftmost door if you need a reminder of the date. My name's right next to it. You can't miss it.

This time two years ago, too, apparently my friend Chad was at a party and had no idea that I was in a hospital ... in England!!! I forgive you, Chad, I forgive you.

No idea if I'll get all sentimental in my Christmas rant. We'll see. If you have been, it's piling.
