Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières is one the oldest and most reputable aid organizations in the world, has one of the smallest percentages of donations lost to overhead / administrative costs, and currently has a large presence in Haiti (over 800 members). If you can, please help them with their rescue effort, or find some other organization help. It is easy to donate online - I just did it in under 5 minutes.

A bit belated, but oh well. Colorado was busy but enjoyable, and I’m happy to be back in the regular routine, sans undergraduates as is usual for this time of year. I’m also glad that the 3 - 4 days of constant-yet-not-accumulating snow has finally ended. Now that the holidays are over, March can’t come fast enough!

A bit abstract, but ’tis the season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Photos have been scant these past two weeks as Amy and I prepare for Christmas and our trip to Colorado, which we leave for tomorrow evening! I do have some interesting Christmas tree shots to post … maybe I’ll do that tonight. Hopefully Denver and the surrounds will provide some nice photographic opportunities once again.

If you’re from the Wolfeboro area and miss it like I do, I’d suggest checking out Daily Wolfeboro. Not only is the site full of excellent photos, but also short descriptions which accompany the photos. Thank you Chris Dow for sharing your work!
