Let's see, where were we...?

Last Tuesday, I wrote that Haggard post, did some holiday volunteering, went home to wrap some presents, and somehow managed to stay offline for most of the next 5 days. 

Which is to say: Christmas was splendid. Truly peaceful. I finally got around to reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy (holy crap, what a novel), watched a billion episodes of "30 Rock" with my wife after the kids were in bed, made merry with extended family on 4 separate occasions, watched my kids delight in old-fashioned toys, went on runs with Krista Tippett on the iPod, cooked, cooked, cooked, drank some holiday libations, shared dinner with old friends, went to church, and basically enjoyed a string of days. 

So, if you've stopped by, sorry for the relative silence. 

Oh, and an announcement: Tony Jones has left the building, but his blog is in some very promising hands that I hope you'll check out. Over the next week, The New Christians is sure to be home to some rich conversation (misbehaving commenters notwithstanding).
