The Freelance Retort by Brian Moloney

It’s December 26th and time to put Christmas back in the box for yet another year.

It could have been anybody…it just happened to be you.

Plus, you just ran into me…probably knocked me over, too…so what do you expect?

Happy Holidays?

Of course, there’s still another week of merriment—extended—to work our way through.

Extended, because New Year’s falls on a Thursday, this year…so most people will take off through the weekend

Unless they have one of those important jobs where they saves live or something…then they have to go to work.

So it’s best to steer clear of those folks and save the “Happy whatever’s”, in general.

You may need these people, down the road…so it’s best to avoid them with all your excess merriment…especially on the road.

Take my word for it.

Speaking of excess merriment, get ready now for….
