Winter solstice, lunar eclipse...

 And I'm still on a mind excursion from covering hockey, and specifically, the Rangers, on what seemed like a 24/7 cycle.

Gotta say I'm loving the brief holiday break with family and friends, which truly puts the "p" back in perspective. Course, Rangers have been off two of the last three (Sunday and today) days also, so really, all the loyal Blue Noters haven't missed much.

Will be back refreshed with some sound and visions tomorrow, and Thursday with morning skate reporting and game coverage when Tampa visits MSG...
