A few years ago Bob and his neighbor, Betty Holmboe, decided that their Christmas holiday schedules were too busy to celebrate their neighborliness in the way it deserves so it was decreed that Christmas would be observed in mid-summer when things were less hectic and they really could enjoy each other's company. So last night Bob's porch was decorated with Santas, candy canes, Christmas trees and a group of penguins singing carols while Bob and Betty (and myself as hanger-on) toasted each other with wine and indulged in a sinful dessert Bob had cooked up. It was a festive night, and neighbors dropped by with a "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year" in the typical holiday spirit. (The tradition is something of a welcome fixture in the area, and people up and down the street look forward to it.) . . . David Hoffman's book mentioned in an earlier post has arrived and autographed copies are now available at The Bare Wall for $19.95. Very appropriate for this posting when one considers the title.
