Merry belated Christmas and happy Hanukkah, friends! It's been a crazy last few months of 2016. I've had some new work projects keeping me busy, plus some family health scares, fear for my country's future, and yes, these goddamn celebrity deaths (I watched Love Actually for the first time last weekend since Alan Rickman died.
