The Christmas disclaimer.

A Christmas haiku

the perfect gift for the girl

who has everything.

Next week being Christmas week, although I will still be posting, I will be relaxing my strident publishing standards just the teeniest little bit. I'll probably have you in and out each day in less time than it takes to think up a holiday haiku.

So if you want to take a break from the computer and go to the library, or succumb to an impromptu, come-as-you-are-nap, or see if the cat will talk to you, be my guest.

Come back the following Monday for the high quality, professional standards, creative nonfiction you've grown accustomed to. I'll see if I can find some.
