Post Christmas Ramblings

I’m ready for a nap. The last of the Christmas parties is over, with children F-1 and F-2 (that would read F negative one and F negative two, my two youngest stepchildren, both adults living on their own) having left about an hour ago. Some jumbled thoughts are in my head on this [...]
