HoHoHo

The WORDgrinch sez: If the WORD’s going to take a holiday break, this seems as good a time as any. I would explain why, but let’s not get into that. Except to say, here’s to a happy, healthy and saner New Year. I’m off to St. Mumbles. We’ll see if things look any clearer in 2020. As Tiny Tim observed, God bless us, every one.

 

 

“Facts are like cows. If you look them in the face long enough, they generally run away.”  

―Dorothy L. Sayers (1893-1957), British crime novelist and poet.
