Change

After a nice 5 day break I'm back. I was hoping to feel a bit more refreshed, but I'll take what I've got: half-way healthy and a super chill Vermont.

We are currently in the weird lull period between Christmas and New Years. This year Hanukkah happens sit right in between, but as I've been told again and again, "Hanukkah isn't a big deal." Add that with an office where the phone doesn't ring and you've got a great transition from holiday.

But change is here, especially in Central Vermont. I was informed yesterday by a relative in Georgia that a rock slide took place in Montpelier. A quick trip to the internet and I found out that a slide did in fact take place, a most drastic one in deed. Luckily no one was hurt. But our capital city was once again on the national news. I believe it was the first time since the Vermont succession convention back in October. Good old Montpelier.

Most other changes are a bit more subtle. To ring in the new year I've added a new banner to the page (If I had something good to give away I'd run a contest to see if readers can identify the photograph. I don't have anything good, but feel free to put your guess in the comments). The sidebar also has a new music bar, which highlights the top albums that I've played on my work computer from the previous week (via Last.fm) . A host of new links have been added as well, including my father's blog (!) and a photo page from friends up in the great dark cold north.

My ClustrMap indicates that this site has been viewed from across the globe (including the Midway Islands!). I've got faith that Africa and Antarctica will come through.

If change is the only constant, then I hope to remain flexible. But maybe tomorrow, for right now I'm enjoying the downtime.
