Happy Holidays to all WNFF'ers, of all faiths and none.

A man is walking past his local church hall when he notices a banner hung over the entrance - 'Christmas Bizarre - Today from 10 AM'. 'Oh dear'. he thought - 'someone should tell them about that'. So he walked along the path, to the entrance. Sitting in the porch, at one of those small, green baize topped card tables, with a bowl to collect the entrance money, was a sweet little old lady. 'Excuse me', said the man, 'but has anyone realized that your banner is mis-spelt - it should read B-A-Z-A-A-R, not B-I-Z-A-R-R-E''. The sweet little old lady looked up, and with a knowing smile replied 'wait 'til you see inside...'

I was wearing my office Festivus Party hat - a green and gray striped knit hat with the office name and an image of the Festivus pole - today on my trip north because somehow the real knit hat I've had for years and that is New England knit I somehow misplaced yesterday instead of putting it in my coat like I thought I did. Minor grievance / 1st world problem.

I was definitely in a mood for airing grievances yesterday when my wife discovered one of the toilets was leaking. But thankfully all it needed was a new fill valve, so a trip to Home Depot followed by a 15-minute repair solved the problem.

The dunny is important.

I am sitting on a bench outside the Reston hospital ER drinking a warm Stella and reading reddit reviews of Popeyes ghost pepper sandwiches. Wife broke her arm in a revolving door right before our flight back from Brussels today. This seems like fitting coda for the 2024 dumpster fire...Happy new year y'all

Best to Frau. I once got pulled off a plane and sent to Reston when I fainted. Good hospital.

Did you take in any cyclocross?

Yikes. Best wishes to her Ali!

Ouch...that must've been one helluva flight home for her! Give her our best...

If you start watching World Series Game 5 at 10:26:44 tonight, you can watch Aaron Judge drop the balll in New York right at midnight.

Ugh. Sorry to hear that, all the best to Frau, and to you too. Hope for a better 2025.

Thanks everyone...@JCA, didn't see any cyclocross this time but I have in the past and it is an absolute blast (for spectators at least, the riders look muddy & miserable).
