Holiday Hiatus

With apologies to Major Henry Livingston Jr. (1748-1828) :

'Twas the weekend before Christmas, when all through the house
When Auntie Nettie wasn't ready, so she began to grouse;
Her bags were not packed, her laundry not done,
Some presents not bought, with errands to run;

The house needed cleaning, the floors to be swept,
The super needed tipping, or he'd keep us unkepmt;
Her Mama, she was driving, down the long road,
To pick up her progengy and her large large load.

So Auntie Nettie goes blogging, to give an update,
Telling her friends and family, she'll be back in '08,
But you hear her exclaim, as she logs out with a byte,
"HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!"

Wishing you and yours a healthy and happy New Year!
