Mondays at the Holidays

Today writing takes a back seat to real work, and I suspect that the Apologist is in more or less the same late Advent condition. But then, who out there has time to read anything anyway?

Behind the scenes, the third member of our team says he is close to preparing his first post. I fear that he may be preparing to unleash a new "War and Peace" or, at the least, an "Atlas Swore Under His Breath as He Shrugged Again." Really, Bryan, we are not expecting award-winning prose as it would be totally out of character for our modest little site anyway.

Did get some welcome news in the mail. A package which I have been expecting for the past three weeks finally arrived, part of Mrs. Oklahomilist's Christmas. Amazon decided to entrust my purchase to the U.S. mail, always an iffy proposition but especially so at the holidays. I've been keeping track, loosely speaking, by using the "tracking code" to see how many different major cities around America this gift has visited. I doubt that it would have touched down in more places if Santa had carried it in his sleigh! Inefficiency personified by this quasi-private organization. Can't wait until we have similar organizations running our health care system and auto industry.

Ah, but the bottom line is "it's here!" so I can quit wondering and start wrapping.
