Hey, All You Kids Waiting for Santa: serious rumor has it that Santa has scheduled us again this Christmas Eve, 4:00 P.M. Mass.  Better be nice to an old geezer.  Any other of you kids want to be a shepherd or angel in the Nativity Drama Christmas Eve?  Just show up in costume.

   
 True?

Every now and then go away and have a little relaxation.  To remain constantly at work will diminish your judgment.

From Jane Drake:

A very good friend of mine needs in-home care for six months, starting anytime and including her surgery date of Dec. 15. She is a delightful person and easy to get along with. Her husband, who is blind, works out of the house, and they have a son who is 20. They have a lot of critters in their home!

The person’s main job would be to clean, do laundry, and make three square meals a day. No heavy lifting. No patient care. Person does not need to speak English OR drive. They must live in (they will have their own room and bath). It could also lead to a permanent position.

True?  Good friends are like stars; you don't always see them, but you know they are there!

 See you Sunday, August 9

There are so many riders every day (16-20 K) that to get into and through the numerous little pass-through towns (as opposed to overnight towns), bikers have to walk.
