I just received a Christmas card from New Mexico Tech's Office of Advancement. The front of it said simply: "HO3" and the inside is reproduced below as my new sig for this month (or so).
Look, local, national and world politics all suck, and it would appear as if nobody (outside of the regulars here) has even two neurons to rub together. But for at least a couple of weeks, I'd like to try to remember the symbolism of this time of year, and remember that we as humans need something more than just scraping by to really live. In that spirit, I wish each and every one of you (and even you, too, Beep...especially you) my best wishes for a peaceful and rejuvenative holiday season, and a great new year to come.
