Thank you!  I sometimes find myself... compelled to
spew verse.  I hope it's always so well met.

Our very own dug seed in might appreciate this verse,
something I spent many years working on -- a
translation (if you will) of a well-known poem that is
appropriate for the day:

http://www.best.com/~sfisher/lemon_seymour.html

Hint: the verse is sometimes said to be easier to
understand if read aloud, by (and to) people who have
been indulging just slightly in the spirits of the
season.  (Meaning there's a window of intoxication
here: if you're not just a *little* bit lubricated,
you probably won't want to read this, and if you're
*too* far gone, you won't be able to get through it!)

The best wishes of the holiday, whatever and wherever
you celebrate -- whether it's midwinter or midsummer
where you are, go out for a spin with the one you love
(the Alfa, of course!)
