Do you own and wear an ugly sweater around this time of year? No, I don’t own a single sweater.

I’m working on pretty much no sleep this morning. All my plans are out the proverbial window.

I’m still trying to figure out what to learn next year; a topic, a skill. I’m coming up empty. Either I know everything, or I’m not creative enough. Any suggestions? What would you want to learn?
