I thought St. Stephen's Day was today (the 27th).

Ha, an ironic invokation of that classic lilt, but your third line is wrong. It should be:

"So, up with the kettle and down with the pan"

What the hell is wrong with you??!!??

Anyhoo, I have been reminiscing on the season and on this snow filled blustery winter's day I am reminded of a snippet, if you will, of Hank Thoreau's, “A Winter Walk” and thought I would share....

In winter we lead a more inward life. Our hearts are warm and cheery, like cottages under drifts, whose windows and doors are half concealed, but from whose chimneys the smoke cheerfully ascends.... We enjoy now, not an Oriental, but a Boreal leisure, around warm stoves and fireplaces, and watch the shadow of motes in the sunbeams.

Indeed.

peace, good friends, peace.

As a youth, I visited Walden Pond. I swam in its placid waters and gazed upon its tranquil shores. It is these experiences to which I attirbute much of my current inner serenity.

Apparently there is some controversy on this point. I did not bring it up, however, for fear of splitting the board with another round of contentious strife, which is the last thing we need now, during the holiday season.

Maybe one is St. Steven's Day, and the other is St. Stephen's Day.

I join you in that holidaesical sentiment, except to the extent that the word "attirbute" affects such sentiment. I do not know what THAT word means, iykwim, and my autographed version of the O.E.D. is not showing a definition......ymmv...???

St. Steven is a pikerish hack. No offence.

It was an intentional typo meant to stir up some debate, or at least a post or two, on an eerily quiet holiday week. Mission accomplished!

Smashing.

In the sprite of the season I was going to forward you an email I received that was apparently meant for you. Instead I will post text in a follow up post.

Stay tuned.
