Hope whatever you\’re doing at the end of this month is full of friends, family, food and frivolity – no matter if you are celebrating something or not. We\’re visiting family and taking a so-called vacation. Will be back in the new year, completely exhausted. Have fun, everyone.

I’m not really into imaginary things. I’m pretty practical. I don’t really mind if the kids stop believing in Santa or the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny. I’m barely putting up the pretense. We don’t do God around here. I’m not the person who is going to put that Elf on the Shelf. Am [...]

Some of you got a Christmas card from me. Some of you should have, but won’t (uh, I’m a little scattered this year). Some of you shouldn’t, but will…hang on. No, wait, I don’t send cards to people I don’t like! What I’m trying to say is: Happy holidays. Have a good one, whatever you [...]
