“Christmas is a season for kindling the fire for hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.” — Washington Irving
(I just got done writing a good number of checks to various charitable organizations. A couple of children’s hospitals, Toys for Tots, The Bowery Mission, Coalition for the Homeless, Boys Town, a variety of veterans groups, a number of Native American organizations, The Red Cross . . . groups like that. I’m far from being wealthy, but tis the season of giving! And, there a lot of people in need out there. Today’s condensed date makes for a great palindrome! Keep those love lights burning, folks! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Thank you, Hal. The same to you and yours! — YUR
If you keep writing those checks, Unc, you’re going to make the rest of us look bad. 😦
LOL! — YUR
