• Rick,

  I like Bill McClellan. Don't read him as much as I used to. But have responded to him a time or two over his articles, even disagreeing with him on one. He always responds to your e-mails and I believe is a genuine good person.

• WOW, Good news on this holiday weekend. Thanks swamp, I can personally relate to this story, missed many a holiday as I was a computer repair person, seemed systems bellied up at banks, hospitals always at the wrong time. My dear wife has been gone some 8 holidays now, the lights are dimmer, Christmas trees missing, smells of candy, pies no longer linger in the kitchen unless I get the strength and courage to round up the ingredients.

  Merry Christmas to all my blogger friends, I am known to "rouse some folks ire", but believe me much is in jest just up get your blood pressure. Blessings to all.

• Dex,sorry to learn part of your story. Too bad for the anonymity factor because I'd feel privileged to share the Holiday with you. Had some unfortunate events this year that are making Christmas just a little less of what it should be here. Do what you can with who/what you have and love the ones you're with.BTW-Like to think I'm a darn good cook but baking and especially pie crust is the bane of my kitchen. I also had a job that required call outs 24/7/365. Amazing what went wrong on Holidays.

• Glad I watched my dear wife all these years while she cooked. Thanksgiving and Christmas I cook dinner for kids, grandkids and all, 22 lb turkey, chicken dressing, cherry and pumpkin and pecan pie.

  Would like to have coffee with all you guys and gals someday, some posters I miss,,,MeLange and others, my memory is slipping as my age increases.

  Merry Christmas or Happy Holiday greeting, whichever you like, life is too short to take it toooooo seriously. Jesus taught we are to love everyone, how can we argue with that?
