Someone contact child protective services. Clearly child abuse. Heck, I feel abused. |

I went to bed “early”, about 12:00 or so, but I was tossing and turning. Got up and played computer golf and Spider solitaire all night trying to get tired. Finally at about 6:15 I let the dogs out and went to bed and slept… I just finished my “morning” smoothie at 3:00. Weirdest. Christmas. Ever… |

Finally had Christmas dinner tonight. Top sirloin roast beef (disappointing, a bit gristly), mashed potatoes, corn, a small iceberg salad and a pretty big chunk of Pannetone, which I had never had before. Followed by another smaller chunk of panettone. Listening to oldies on You Tube now. Curt Ed belt playing: “Driver’s Seat” (Sniff’n the Tears)…
The theme of the times is “Songs from 1970 and 1971 that reached #2 on the Billboard Top 100 but never reached # 1…

www.bbc.com/culture/article/20231219-the-ww1-christmas-truce-the-war-for-that-moment-came-to-a-standstill"The 1914 Christmas Truce may not have ultimately altered the course of the war, but as historian Dan Snow says in the BBC podcast Voices of the First World War, the fact that it happened at all is miraculous. "The truce was a brief tantalising flash of individual humanity, in a war of bureaucracies, machines and high explosives." And it had a profound effect on the men, such as Col Scott Shepherd, who experienced it. For a brief moment, soldiers on different sides saw each other as fathers, brothers and sons who just longed to go home and return to loved ones, rather than as faceless enemies to be killed. "Several of them spoke English. They rather expressed their dislike… for the whole war in fact. They weren't aggressive at all. Some of them said they had been to London, been to England, in fact, they gave every indication of being glad to meet us," he said."

I'm better today, thanks Kay. Hoping to be able to get to sleep soon, if possible. Vampire hours just overtake me when I'm off from work. |
