“Each age has deemed the new-born year the fittest time for festal cheer.”   —   Walter Scott

(A nice little challenge for the new year!  It’s certainly not everyday that we see “festal”.  And, citing Walter Scott, without his royal title, added a little intrigue to it.  Good one!  I hope everyone is celebrating the new year responsibly.  Things are finally looking up, but it’s too soon let our guards down.  Let’s be smart, folks, and we’ll soon enough conquer COVID-19.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“I begin to find . . . that too good a character is inconvenient.”   —   Sir Walter Scott

(Might as well be a dog!  Well okay, maybe not to that extreme.  But . . . trying to be a saint is just more work than it’s worth.  So, just be well . . . and do good.)   —   YUR
