'Tis The Season

The Nativity in Stained Glass, First Lutheran Church of the Reformation in  New Britain, CT

The streets of New Haven are quiet tonight, blanketed beneath several inches of freshly fallen snow. The last remnants of the storm give shape to the orange cone of light coming from the street lamps. The neon glow of a corona sign reflects off the icy front stoop of Orange Street Liquor. 

Soon I'll head boil some water, steep some tea, and savor the evening. 

A day of rest following a semester of work.

Tomorrow it is New York. Sunday it is New Britain. Monday it is back to the 'sha.

Christmas and family and time at home are drawing nigh.

But tonight. . . Tonight is a silent night.
