Merry Christmas
Because of work, I was away from home until just before Christmas. I was a bit sad that I wasn’t going to have a Christmas tree this year, or much else in the way of a traditional celebration. Somehow, my wife picked up on my mood, and surprised me with this: On top of that, […]
Merry Christmas to All
I hope all of you had a great Christmas. Ours was kind of last-minute. In my Hard Luck Hank post, I mentioned that I’ve been spending all my free time job-hunting and interviewing. My wife and I didn’t know if I’d get a job offer, making us drop everything and move to another city, in […]
