Christmas Cheer

I spent Christmas with my Aussie friends yesterday. They also know how to spread the good cheer plus they have crackers. You pull these tubes apart that look like fancy toilet paper rolls and a gift jumps out and wisdom. Yes, lots of wisdom. "What do penguins ride?" Answer: "Ice-cycles." Little Fritz got a workout and some real meat. He had to inspect everything. Came home and had a crown on my head. Paper crown.....I am staying in today but tomorrow I will drive my friends to Mt. Vernon for some colonial Christmas cheer there. Let the Aussies smell the Potomac River. That will be the highlight of my contribution. Me to them: I will show you this new watering hole tomorrow. They are going to be mightily surprised that the Potomac River is not a bar.
