Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

In other matters, Gud, how are you doing today?

Not brilliant, but getting by.

Happy birthday, Hec!

Last Friday I had chocolate-covered almonds for breakfast.

And I'd do it again.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Whew, I'm finally caught up! Birthday weekend celebrations, then a wicked headcold had me several hundred messages behind. It's been a long time since I had that kind of a catch up in Natter. I'm feeling kinda nostalgic.

Happy Belated Birthday, JZ! You are, as stated above, a lovely person and I'm glad we get to celebrate another year of you!

Happy Birthday, David! May today be the start of a year that is far superior to the one in the rearview!

Karl, scary story! Glad you got help and are still with us!

Gud, Buffistas are wise. I hope you are able to hear the advice they gave you. I'm glad you're here.

Political news, I Can't Even right now.

David, FYI I loved that Matilda baseball story on FB and shared it with non-Buffista friends. She was much celebrated last weekend.

Yikes. Reports of multiple shootings at the Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis.

No official word on casualties but a reporter there tweeted that at least some people are dead.
