I don’t know where you are—based on my blog stats, there’s a good chance you might be in Brazil or New Zealand or Italy or India or Britain—but whatever part of the world you’re in, it might be raining. That steady downpour that makes you hunt a sofa, a blanket, a warm cup of coffee or tea. You need a nap, really, a chance to drop off to...
