It's the last night of Chanukah, let's sing my Chanukah carol.

Gloria In Excelsis Latke

Angels we have heard on high
Telling us it's time to fry
Latkes crisp and golden brown
In the Jewish part of town

Chorus
Glo-o-o-o-o-o
o-o-o-o-o
o-o-o-o-orious
Hot potato pancakes (twice)

...continued

To those who, like me, feel down because the sun sets so dang early:
Take heart!
Though days keep getting shorter until the Solstice, the earliest sunset of the season is tomorrow, 12/9. Here in Burlington it’ll be at 4:14:46 PM. Tuesday gives us two extra seconds, and it gets better from there.

Apple pie with sharp cheddar, my favorite breakfast ever.
