The Winter of Our Discontent

It recently occured to us that we've been neglectful in commenting on our friends' blogs. It isn't because we don't care, darlings - because we do! The holidays are a mad rush for us (at our throats, as Noel Coward would say); since we usually only have time to absorb all of your marvelous blogs in one breathless sitting, we often feel insufficiently witty to leave comments. But trust us: we do check in, and giggle, and goggle, and occasionally gleefully glom your photos (e.g., Infomaniac, from whence this sensitive study of Miss Shelley Winters was stolen). So if at words poetic we're so pathetic these days, please be patient and understanding, possums. We love you!
