Holiday Note: First Working Day
The new year has begun brilliantly at this end, with the first piece of misdirected email since I don’t know when. To a very nice guy whom I see at parties on Claremont Avenue, and who was kind enough to write a proper note after we connected at Facebook, I wrote,
Blah blah blah. Tell me something I don’t know.
XOXO (short for “toxic gas”)

Ooops! As anybody can tell, my message was meant for Fossil Darling, who had just insulted me (instead of thanking me for providing his useless and unloved existence with a warm and loving home-like atmosphere on New Year’s Day) by calling me a “vile and miserable being.” (Not even human being!)Â I don’t know if all the ‘splainin’ in the world is going to get me out of this one.
After Fossil and LXIV headed home last night, Kathleen and I hunkered down to watch The King and I closely — very closely. No elephant prod!
I’ll explain later. Happy New Year!
