It’s sunny but cold outside, too cold to even sit overlooking the ocean— but just right indoors, by the warming fire. The aged Samoyed is, no doubt, dreaming of snow, and we are watching yet another British crime drama.

Despite this moment of domestic harmony, all is not well with the world. I am just on a brief home leave from the war.
