SEASON'S READINGS

IT DOESN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE,

BUT WE'RE DOWNPLAYING

THE HOLIDAYS THIS YEAR, 

WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE

MR. BOB'S LIFE EASIER 

IF I'D APPROACHED IT 

THIS WAY OVER THE YEARS.

I'VE TENDED TO BE THE

SUGAR PLUM FAIRY, 

WEDDED TO SOMEONE 

RESEMBLING

MR. GRINCH OR SCROOGE.

THERE'S MUCH FOR WHICH

TO BE THANKFUL AND

THAT'S WHERE OUR FOCUS WILL LIE.

TIME GOES SO QUICKLY THAT

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT

CHRISTMAS IS NEAR, TO BE

FOLLOWED A WEEK LATER BY 

A BRAND NEW

YEAR.

"The mere brute pleasure of reading - the sort of pleasure a cow must have in grazing."
