'Twas the Day After Christmas
jaylake and the_child
Were setting out for a trip
On a flight hoped to be mild
Novels in the flight bag
Nestled safely unread
While visions of vacation
Danced in the traveler's heads
Outside on the runway
A wind blew so hard
Thatjaylake wondered
If the flight could depart
While inside the airport
He thought about things
About cancer, and writing
Shoes and sealing wax, cabbages and kings

Rep Michele Bachmann takes in a lot of money via farm subsidies — Pretty nice position for someone who rails constantly against socialism. I realize most conservatives don't define farm subsidies as socialism, but that's just logic chopping to soothe...

Had a successful Christmas today. the_child did pretty good with her haul, including the crowning glory, a Canon multifunction printer/copier/scanner for her to use in her art projects. Dinner at my parents', where the haul was considerably reinforced. My piece de resistance was the restored 1907 Remington Model 10 typewriter given me by Mother of the Child, though numerous other thoughtful gifts were given and received all around.

Mother of the Child gave me a restored 1907 Remington Model 10 typewriter for Christmas.
