Long time no post. My apologies. I'm vacationing in Florida for the holidays, and will return to NYC sometime next year. The weather is chilly, but not as frigid as it would be in the northeast. The family is great. The godson is as happy as can be. And I've yet to purchase 1 gift this year. Nothing like waiting until the last week to shop for gifts.

I say Bah Humbug to those who start their shopping in July. (Those of you who know me realize that I would never succeed on that plan, because I have a tendency to tell everyone what their gifts are if I have to keep it secret for more than three days.)

Be wary of those Salvation Army Bell Ringers
