Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate that kind of thing. A bit of a sad one, what with the news of Jack Klugman’s death. Hopefully I can catch all four of his Twilight Zone episodes on the marathon this year. Otherwise, I hope Santa was good to you this year.

In his Christmas Eve speech mass last night, the Pope said we should make room for God. Well, He can use our spare bedroom if He wants, but it’d be nice if he could chip in a little something for wood pellets. We’re running a little low, here, and with the Town and County property taxes coming up in January (on top of the end of the payroll tax holiday, which is going to have a very noticeable affect on my take home pay), it’s gonna be tough to find the money for a few more tons. And now that I’m entering my golden years, I’m kinda partial to being somewhat warm.

Anyhow, have a good day today, whether you care about Christmas or not, and I hope that Winter Storm “Euclid” (as the Weather Channel is calling it) isn’t too bad for you folks in the Midwest (and I also hope you’ll be kind enough to keep it to yourselves). Happy Christmas everybody – and stay healthy.
