Happy Feet and Antarctic cool for New Year's Eve

Today,
we saw a matinee of the movie "Happy Feet" (which actually
had a great message, and the sheer magnitude of
the animation effort is worth seeing, not to
mention the great music) ... Now I'm listening to
Music from the Hearts of
Space, which I've
enjoyed off and on for over two decades, since the
days of listening on Sunday evenings on
KPFA when it aired
live; the program is an appropriately icy one to
go with the penguin movie we saw earlier.
We're warm and cozy inside, however, enjoying a quiet New Years Eve at home... and it was sunny and almost warm this afternoon for a longish walk/run around my favorite scenic loop which takes in Mount McLaughlin (now snow-capped; glad I hiked it when I did a few months ago) and the two Table Rock mesas here in the Upper Rogue valley. I'm looking forward to taking family and friends up there again when the spring wildflower extravaganza returns. Here's a photo taken a few years ago of some frosty pine needles in front of our former home in Nevada City, Calif.
