Traveling home to West Virginia for Christmas I came upon a hearse. Sad to think about on Christmas Eve Eve Day. But this hearse wasn’t carrying a dead body. It was carrying an old woman, and she was driving it. Emblazoned on the back I could read, “For the wages of sin is death.” A sign affixed to the roof admonished drivers, “Prepare To Meet Thy Maker.”

I found this a rather severe Holiday greeting, so to you I simply say “Merry Christmas!” Or if that offends you I say, “Stop getting offended so easily, and Appropriate Seasonal Festivities!”

Spent the whole day with Alicia making everyone’s Christmas favorites, pretzels + Hershey’s Kisses + M&M’s and Sushi. And my new 50mm lense. Best day in a while.

Visiting home for Thanksgiving and putting up the family tree. My mother has been complaining that our tree (plastics make it possible) is too large for our living room. She didn’t appreciate an attempt at compromise.
