My Kat mentioned the other day how stressed out people are this time of year. I noted that it’s all self-imposed, from what I can tell – now that we don’t have to worry about sabre-toothed tigers snagging us when we leave the cave for the outhouse, it’s just hunger in our midst and global warming that we have to worry about. And there’s nothing unique to this time of year on those fronts.
While I would not go back to my altar boy days, I like Steve’s father’s approach – make this a season of service. I went to visit some seniors last night at an assisted living home. Many of them had no family to visit them or take them to a gathering, and they appreciated the visit. And, of course, as the solstice passes, celebrate the return of the light.
I give my sisters and parents wine for Christmas. It’s good for their health.

Edgar — service and wine; very nice. And, who’s this other “Kat”? ;-)
