We’re having a bit of a family emergency here right now, hence the lack of vlog yesterday. I’m also going to skip the Weekly Political Update today; I’m assuming that this week of all weeks you’ve been keeping up with the political news, and that many of you have left for the long weekend already in any case. (I will, however, note that amidst all the marriage hoopla, the New Hampshire House passed a transgender anti-discrimination bill, which now goes to the Senate. The Washington legislature passed a similar bill, which heads to the governor. Good for them.)

Happy holidays, no matter what you’re celebrating this week!
