Fatigue

Alas,

we have had way too much Christmas merry making

in the past few weekends...

making us look like this:

Although we all enjoy the holidays,

getting back to "life as usual" will be welcomed.

At some point during our Christmas entertaining this past weekend

we noticed that someone had slipped Sam a piece of shrimp.

He tried and tried to eat it....

delicately chewing, then spitting it out, then chewing again.

Finally, he looked at me with his sad, golden eyes and said...

"I've tried and tried, and I just don't understand how you can 

eat these things!  Please don't make me eat it!"

"Blech!"

That's ok, Sammy...

you don't have to eat the shrimp!
