Excellent catch, Pat. I’ve fixed it. (The spelling–lots of boughs fell during the last couple of days, and they’re not fixable. The bows seem to be OK.)

[So, in a blind reference to a post and comment elsewhere in liblogland, no, I won’t raise my hand as never making dumb spelling/grammar errors. Or error’s, for that matter, although apostrophes are one of the few punctuation things I usually get right.)

“a big red bough on the largest tree on each lot”

Could this be a bow? I have this image of someone using the kind of wash-out hair dye used for Halloween to color one limb on the tree – and then I started wondering how they pick the limb they’re going to color this year.

Brian (your comment triggered moderation; I’m not sure why): One episode at a time has been a deliberate choice, partly because neither my wife nor I wishes to become heavy TV viewers–there are too many books and magazines, too much other stuff to do. It’s also true to the series themselves: Each week’s episode was presumably designed as a unit, and should stand on its own. We find it works–for us. Not saying it’s better for anyone else.

Badder Santa is awesome. That kid is so great. As for TV shows, I don’t see how you can watch just one show per sitting… I tend to want to see what happens next, but i guess it depends on the nature of the show.

Thanks. I have high hopes for 2007–at least to be better than 2006.
