Okay, two “I-knows” coming at you. First, I know I said I’d be gone for a couple of weeks, but since Slim Randles is here to entertain readers, it’s almost like I’m not here. Right? Second, I know it’s after Christmas Day, so this story’s a little dated, but it’s priceless. Reminds me of when

The blog won’t be very busy for the next two weeks. I’ll be taking time off from working to enjoy those crafty things l like to do, but I may pop in now and then. You never know. In the meantime, there’s a jigsaw puzzle already waiting for me on the card table in the
