Winters here are cold and wet, and it's better to admit that fact and find a way to enjoy the season than to stay home depressed. Ice skating, with its low requirements in start-up costs and athletic prowess, may be the perfect way to beat the winter doldrums. It's charming

I won't let Mrs. Claus toss it. I have a firm grip on my Christmas-light-laden and obscenely geometric printed green-and-red sweater. It's my go-to ugly holiday sweater.

What a week: the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination, the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, and the completely unanticipated (and hopefully temporary) demise of Brian the dog on Family Guy ... I need a vacation. I'm gonna' go party with some hippies in the desert. Spark: A Burning Man Story
