I want to wish everyÂone out there in cyberÂland a very MerÂry ChristÂmas and a very HapÂpy New Year. It’s my hope that there be peace in the New Year all across the world. Okay, I know that’s impracÂtiÂcal but one can hope. I pray for jobs for the unemÂployed and new cures for those with life threatÂenÂing illÂnessÂes. Most of all, I hope for a return to sanÂiÂty for those caught up in the polÂiÂtics of meanÂness in this country.
