Really. Unless you’re in a part of the world being hit by tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, civil war, holy war, drought, famine, disease or an extraordinary preponderance of painfully pussy boils, other than the good or bad news regarding the upsurge or downswing in Christmas sales, I’m a little stumped for a compelling blog-worthy topic. Besides, I’m almost fully immersed in the final push to meet Friday’s deadline for my year-end poem and it’s hard to be serious when every thought is a rhyming couplet.
