'Tis the season of schedules adjusted, deadlines tweaked and expectations put in abeyance, and in that spirit of the holidays I offer this respite to you and yours -- a podcast-free November has stretched languidly into a December unencumbered by new episodes of The Membrane.  I suggest you take advantage of this break by getting some sleep, eating lots of fat and sugar and enjoying some well-deserved television.

Thanks and best wishes to you.
