Enjoy!

Holiday Blessing

To all you shepherds abiding in your fields,
watching over your flocks by night, and also by day
(whether your field be grass or anthropology,
oats or olives or medieval economics), I say:
May your flocks all thrive;
may your grass grow lush and green;
may joy follow you amiably and radiantly from place to place;
and may all your hypotheses be plausible.
Amen.

Dr. Elgin's "Christmas In Orbit" album has 15 new carols and 
rewordings of the classics, from the serious to the silly.

Thank you for the kind words about my filk carols, and for mentioning 
the CDs. There's no way to link to those, however; people who want 
them have to resort to postal mail. "Christmas In Orbit" is $10.00 
plus $4.50 shipping and handling [foreign postage extra], to OCLS, PO 
Box 1137, Huntsville, AR 72740-1137.
