@ingrid You did good. Maybe we all just need to be posting more end-of-year Unday notes to counterbalance those of the triumphant temporal teleologists’? Here’s mine: this winter break I am watching TV, getting through a 2lb box of See’s Candies, completing several difficult jigsaw puzzles, being sad that our dog is no longer with us, reading a book about Neanderthals, and researching ways to put the garage on solar power.
