The bear arose somewhere between ten and eleven in the morning. He made his presence known by signing online to gchat. I noticed the den cover was cracked open somewhere after eleven thirty. At about noon the bear emerged looking resplendent in his early afternoon glory. A quick glance at the light snowfall elicited a grumble from the bear who set about cleaning up from a mess made two nights before at the end of the year festivities. After a wash in the river the bear made his way into the world at about two o'clock to handle some banking issues and maybe watch a soccer match. The Urban Naturalist remained on the couch.
