Christmas Day

....peacefull was the night
Wherin the Prince of light
His reign of peace upon the earth began:
The Windes with wonder whist,
Smoothly the waters kist,

Whispering new joyes to the milde Ocean,
Who now hath quite forgot to rave,
While Birds of Calm sit brooding on the charmeèd wave.

- John Milton "Hymn on the Morning of Christ's Nativity"

After a week of storms, the weather has cleared, the sky is washed clean by the storm and the ocean here off Castle Rock, Pacific Palisades, is blue.

Our Son is arriving from London at LAX later on Christmas Day. We're looking forward to being with him.

Have a wonderful Christmas.
