Went downtown tonight and found Pine Street closed to traffic. People filled the streets and christmas carolers gathered in storefronts. It was a cold night, but with all the activity going on it seemed the right thing to do to roam around. Something about being able to walk down the middle of the street puts a smile on most people's faces.

This time of year is ripe for reflection. I usually find I'm feeling pensive these last few weeks of the year. Many lessons learned this year, many more to come.
