happy holidays from the vast configuration of things

It's a Wonderful Life links:

* Every year I get a kick out of this: Nick: What Went Wrong (I subscribe to the "Potternomics" theory myself.) Brilliant!

* And yesterday my friend Matt sent me this video: the awesome 90's-era SNL sketch with an IAWL alternative ending.

I'm off to beautiful Tallahassee, Florida and internet-free until Thursday. Happy holidays!
