| This Lady Arrives Thursday |
The Middle East idiots are reaching
out to try and disrupt the holiday season with some of their usual flailing.
The Christmas Market attack in Berlin is another example of a flawed belief
system that can only lash out because it needs an enemy to distract from the failure
of its own message (sounds like a recent successful presidential campaign but I
digress). Western democracy is stronger than the medieval “thinkers” who planned
this atrocity can truly appreciate. We’ll take this blow and continue to
celebrate the season of peace. The people of Germany will rise above this and
continue their lives as testament went to the power of freedom. My thoughts are
with the citizens of Berlin. I wish I could hop a plane to patronize their Christmas
market; I have some great memories of the Frankfurt Christmas market from my
two Decembers there oh so many years ago.
The Russian ambassador to Turkey was
also zapped yesterday in a brazen attack. The Russians, unless they’ve changed
a lot since I got to know them during my military career, will not react like
we would. They’ll be going after the families of the assassin and anybody
remotely related to him. This is the first Russian ambassador killed since the
1920s; there’s a reason for that and a soon to be extinct Turkish clan is about
to learn why.

| Already Quite the Ham |
My wife continued her relentless
attack on my waistline yesterday with two more batches of Christmas cookies
which I was “forced” to test. Oh, the humanity. She’s become a huge devotee of
the Hallmark channel and the sappy Christmas movies they’re showing non-stop.
When I asked why she was watching the same movie over again she said it was a different
movie with some of the same actors. She’s really into deep sentiment upon which
the Hallmark channel preys incessantly.

| Reacquainting with Thanksgiving Freinds |
I’m now required to remove my shoes upon
entering the house. She’s created as near a pristine floor as possible in anticipation
of granddaughter arrival on Thursday. I haven’t had to do this Hawaii and I’m
feeling very Japanese. Buddy is the obvious target of her cleanliness efforts
and has been ordered not to shed during the duration of the Californians’
visit. He’ll probably be as successful as I will be in staying out of trouble
in that area.
A bunch of new photos from California
arrived. They had a get together with the folks from San Diego they spent
Thanksgiving with. It’s obvious my granddaughter remembered the two young girls
who so captivated her over Turkey day. She’s turning into quite the social
butterfly. This is me hardly being able to wait for Thursday evening.
