I would simply say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah," or even "Happy Festivus," but how can I pass up an opportunity to offend the bejesus out of Bill O'Reilly?
Stella is finally on her way to the airport. The @#$%^ airport shuttle was 45 minutes late picking her up; I do hope she makes her flight. Presuming she does, she's on her way to North Carolina by way of Atlanta, where she hopes she is not snowed in, and hopes also that her bag gets checked through. Still, it's been ages since she visited her kinfolks in their own home, and this was her opportunity. The kitties and I will have to make do without her for about a week.
Damn, it's quiet around here.
Oh, presents? Stella got two things she asked for from me... a gift certificate at an art supply store and a book of haiku. From her I got several books (details later) and one more gift in a rather large box. "Guess what it is," she said. "Do I get to ask questions?" I replied. "Yes, but only the traditional ones," she said. "Is it bigger than a breadbox?" I began. "No," she began rather tentatively...
It was a breadbox... shiny, large and with the roll top that most of them seem to have these days. Someone's sense of humor is a lot like mine...

Sending good vibs dude,,,,,peace and good vibs! MandT & Bodhi Dog
ReplyDeleteAnd a Happy NoDWISH to you and yours, although Lily is probably not on the "nice" list this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks, both of you. May this be your best solstice season ever, and may 2011 be a less exasperating year than 2010 for all of us.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Steve and Stella too!
ReplyDeleteLet's all look forward to a better 2011.
I hope Stella makes it through Atlanta. They are canceling flights left and right and we are expecting a little snow later.
I hope y'all have a blessed and joyous day!!! And that Stella manages Atlanta. My ex-husband's sainted granny used to say, "You have to go though Atlanta to get to hell." And silly me, I thought it was O'Hare!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm wishiing sticks and coal to all members of the House and Senate except Bernie Sanders who actually showed some guts!
Enjoy your breadbox!

fallenmonk, Happy Christmas to you and Madam Monk and Mini-Monk, if she is there! Stella texted me that she made it through Atlanta and onward to the home of one of her brothers in Greensboro, NC, though it was a very long travel day for her.
ReplyDeleteAnd as on most Christmases for the past two decades, I'm off to eat Indian food with some musician friends. Hey, the restaurants are open on Christmas Day; why not?
Kay - Merry Christmas to you and yours! As noted above, Stella made it through Atlanta last night and is now home with both of her brothers and their families.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope 2011 brings us a better year, and members of Congress regain some courage in actual support of the citizenry. It's a long shot, but I have hope of the genuine kind, not Obama's "oh-dash-it-all of hope." Have a wonderful rest of the holiday!
"Is it bigger than a breadbox?" I began. "No," she began rather tentatively...
