Thursday morning open thread

I'm back in DC. The dog is over her 90 minutes of trauma being stuffed in a bag on a plane (actually, the trauma seems to be from flight itself, she likes the bag). And I have an exciting weekend ahead of me, what with putting together my new Costco TV stand and all (my TV has been sitting on the floor the past two years - it was finally time to leave college).

And here is a penguin dancing to Auld Lang Syne.
