And, as you think on it,
Ebenezer Scrooge was not
all that good a miser; he had
nearly no paper money to count,
only coins. Sympathy! The
poor old geezer didn't even have
a credit card. Talk about being
down to the dimes. And he
was a pre=Keynesian banker!

Or maybe, you were tending
your flocks in Judea when the
Angels appeared on high...
[the date & the year are both
uncertain thanks to Felix the
Small...but of meteorology,
we can be sure there wasn't
any snow.] So, anyway,
you're minding your bidness &
your flock---when all of a wink
There's this six=winged spirit
floating ephemeral right abof
you in the sky, booming in an
ethereal Voice to,"Fear Not!"
That's a reality=check for even
the bravest lamb rancher.
If i'd-a-been there, i woulda
run fast & faraway. With
soiled breeches. Excelsis!
* *
Cloud me much, i find it
Fascinating. And i have read
many a good schtory here on
the Inter=Web. Mighta even
schpun a few my=own=self.
Some stories last the long.
And~believe or not, Angels
also still Visit us, when we
need them. gratia deo...

Josephine fought the good
fight but succumbed in
natural time on Tuesday
afternoon---surrounded by
her loving family. SHE is
now delivering presents with
the Bishop of Myra.

Our Matriarch, Hane, has not
been feeling well for a few
days either. She was admitted
this morning to our favourite
Hospital in the valley, where
the medical personnel are
treating her quite well. Her
condition is fair to good on
this Christmas Eve.
Fortunately for her, she will
also have more Visitors than
she might require on such
a respite. Altho~in truth,
there aren't many of us
growing younger or less
accustomed to hospitality.
* * *
I mean to say: Thank G
Almighty for the people who
take these works upon them=
selves 24/7 on every day of
the calendar! A Happy and
Beloved Christmas to them
and all the troops in the
field. Angels All~there are
not enough candles to wick
for their Service. Their names
remain in memory while their
abbreviations serve us so
well: EMTs, MDs & RNs
in the ER or the OR...
Doctors, Nurses, Technicians
and Helpers of every kind.
{i keep forgetting to kiss them
on the street as they walk to
their jobs} Angels all^^
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Regardless of troubles and as
the Day finds You--i pray that
you are surrounded by joyful
children on Christmas Day &
That the werld of your werld
is as bright as the one which
found a Deliverer twenty
centuries ago... And that WE
have a Very Merry Christmas
on which small Tim would
say again,"God bless us,
Every=one!"

Still making me travel to get Slac news, I see. Alerts aren't worth a damn where you're concerned...
No lamb ranchers in Tampa else, I'd round one up a soft, fuzzy one to cuddle with on these chilly nights. Reminds me of a farmer/horse potboiler that made the Middleburg news headlines about five years ago.-- He was reportly abusing <~(broad term) his animals and when the sheriff drove out to investigate one day... Well, it never needed the brief elaboration it received if, you know what I mean. In fact, it kind of tells itself. [:P]... [:O]
Grandmother Josephine checked out, I see. Sorry to read, Slac. That one of the disadvantages in living to be a ripe, old fellow. I've already seen more well known's depart from my circle than, I ever thought I would. It certainly requires a bit of perspective adjustment to remain happy. I guess though, I've already personally hacked that angle enough, with you. Not like you need my wisdom either, you still glow.
Children... That would indeed be a cheerful plus if, I had a couple. Though, my youthful years & desires well prevented that for me. Glorious hindsight if, it were only in front of me.
Well, we live, we die and hopefully squeeze some good in between. I suppose that I've done all but the dying part. Sure seems as if I could have done more though. I'll do my best to add to it, still... You do the same.

sorry for your loss, Slac. You have done quite an honor with the glow-y immortalization and readers around the world are lifting prayers on this.
hope Hane is faring well at this writing, I am here on the 27th, the betwixt
week of counterproductivity in most offices. But somehow always a very
busy week for ALL in the medical profession, you are right to bless them!
IMP me whenever, I am here.

My thoughts and prayers are with Josephine...and I hope that this finds Hane feeling better.
A beautiful holiday tribute to all angels on earth...of which, I'm sure, you are one!
I'm always awed by the army of people who give of their time and themselves during the holiday season. Certainly the most precious gift of all.
As for our soldiers serving overseas, words are not enough to convey gratitude for their sacrifice. I may not agree with the war but it doesn't lessen the enormity of their sacrifice.
Sorry to hear about Josephine. As for Hane, I hope she recovers soon, in time to enjoy the rest of the season.
