I'm feeling moderately disoriented today, partially because I found out on Friday that since I'm attending a Ukrainian Catholic parish these days (except for today when I overslept >_<) Christmas has been postponed until January 7th. I'm not sure whether this is a Ukrainian thing, rejecting the Bolshevik imposition of the Gregorian calendar, or a Byzantine thing, since apparently a lot of Eastern Rite churches are sticking with the old Julian calendar. So yesterday wasn't Christmas for me.
Still, my daughter gave me a late Solstice/early Christmas present in the form of a Kindle, which is all kinds of awesome. On the other hand, having some few Jewish genes in her makeup thanks to my mother, she recommended while I was waking up that I read this node and like an idiot, I did so before coffee. I have something to say that relates to that node, but I want it to marinate in its own juices for a while because I don't think it's ready for prime time (or any other time, really) quite yet. Maybe it never will be.
For now, I have things to do, and I should be doing them instead of writing this node.
