A Christmas Mystery »
I totally took the weekend off and did nothing but read books I like, accomplishing little of value to the wider world. I hope my promises of productivity will keep you satisfied, dear Internet, because that’s all you have forthcoming for the next week.

I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed holiday. Merry Christmas everyone!
