Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Holidays

 After a grueling couple of weeks, I just finished what I hope is my last work until we return in early January. After a year's sabbatical, it was a rough readjustment to working every damned day (including Sundays, damnit). The school is also going through some transitions under our new Head. Meanwhile, we are about to buy a plot of land to build a retirement home on, while hoping Trump and his assorted idiots don't destroy the country or economy. My wife decided that she wasn't up to a regular Christmas, which she usually pours a lot of work into. So we are all off to Florida to lay in the sun. (We have a house sitter, so don't think you can break in, Wet Bandits.)

Anyway, Happy Holidays. May your days be merry and bright.
