Sorry I must use the alter ego hat, but I'm at work. The cold weather seems to test weakened bodies, I think that contributed to activities here this week. Gnu, you're in a much less forgiving climate, just try to be peaceful in yourself if things move beyond your control.

MOM just headed to the kitchen to make more popcorn for you, so join us in watching old movies. She just dug out the 1961 movie Pocketful of Miracles. It isn't an xmas movie, but it feels like one, so she watches it this time of year. Totally non-PC. (I think it's from a Damon Runion short story called "Lady for a Day" or something along those lines - a recycled Cinderella story).
