Unfortunately, HG has a runny nose, and his parents have the coughing crud. Hence a fairly boring week of mostly staying at home, trying to regain good health. Here's a little video of HG's first winter solstice two years ago. Then: a bit of wiggling and cooing. Now: He asks about flying reindeer whenever we chance upon a picture of Santa. He's a bit scared of our stuffed grinch. And he likes to say "Monkey, monkey, monkey!" and act silly. The photo is of the "harmonic triangle" of the crescent moon, Jupiter, and Venus earlier this month.
