On Wednesday night, as I walked home from the office, about 11 p.m. I took this photo on the bridge, about a half mile from my house in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, The snow was battered down by footprints, the temperature was modest (about freezing), and the quiet was overwhelming.
It is in those moments that I find my spirit. The shooting star is a sign in all of the world’s major faiths. My first company was Shooting Star Graphics, my card company as a teenager. Later, it was the name we used for our publishing company Shooting Star Media, Inc.
I wish all of you a special Holiday season, whether it is Hannukah, Christmas, Winter Solstice, or even a happy pagan holiday. Take the time to listen to the quiet, and breathe it in!

Note that RBR will be closed down December 23-27, and December 30-January 2 for some rest and time with my family.
