Episode #191: Purple Snowflakes

We're making this year's Star Time Christmas special publicly available a little earlier in the week than normal. Partly because it's going to be a busy week, partly because it's sabbatical time, and partly because we'd dearly love to exit this year as soon as possible. Not all those factors are under our control, but we do what we can. Thank you for another year of your kind patronage, have a restful holiday, and we'll be back the week of January 18, 2021. To the future. -- Love, P
