My brother coaches defensive secondary for the Quince Orchard High School varsity football team. Tonight they face Arundel in the Division 4A Maryland State Championship game, at M&T Bank Stadium, where the Ravens play. Needless to say, I will be there, and needless to say, I will be freezing my butt off. I’m excited for him, though, particularly because his football career has had a lot of downs with not enough ups like this one.
The game starts at 7 p.m., and after it’s over I am driving a dozen or so miles south to the Cap’n's Quarters, where I have been generously offered a guest bed. Tomorrow I’m being the Grunerts’ elf, then I hope to see many of you in the evening for their Yuletide Bash.
Sunday is our one-year wedding anniversary. Amanda works Saturday and Sunday this weekend, so we are still deciding how to celebrate Sunday evening.
Today is December 7, a day, as Stitch told me this morning, that will live in infinity. Having Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day early in Advent certainly adds poignancy to the Christmas wish for peace on Earth.

i’ve always thought about how it was interesting that Advent started with World AIDS Day (also how it’s my birthday… but anyways…)
