Happy Boxing Day!!! Here’s hoping you didn’t eat too much at Xmas dinner and are able to still get up and walk around!
To ease into this special day after The Big Day, we present a double header of lovely songs: Christmas Love Song by Willie Nelson and The Angels Cried by Alison Krauss & Alan Jackson.
Given that this is likely a slow news cycle, feel free to share with us some tales of what happened in your world the past few days.

Hey Robert:
Thanks for the Alan Jackson tune featuring Allison Krauss. I’m not really a country music fan but I always liked this song by George Jones (a love song with much deeper meaning than McCartney’s Yesterday IMHO) and this version sung by Alan Jackson at George’s funeral is the ultimate tribute to a friend and his family.

She’s never fought a fire.
Here in Toronto, the City of Light, we follow the example of our tribal chiefs and head on down to the big mall downtown and just walk from one subway station to the next. This year I am walking north, in fellowship with all the ICE deported who are now trying out grifting Canadian benefits.
If you want to say hi, I am working at the knife sharpening kiosk close to the subway entrance.
