One does not ask of one who suffers: What is your country and what is
your religion? One merely says: You suffer, that is enough for me.
-Louis Pasteur, chemist and bacteriologist (27 Dec 1822-1895)

[Meet our new grandson Teddy Bevin Wittwer, Lisa is great and very happy xx Congratulations to you both, and to Lisa as well, of course! I will be driving Lady Dar to Kelowna on New Year's Eve as she is flying to Puerto Vallarta, staying north of there for two months and then a week or so in LA to see our new great-granddaughter, Olivia Rose, all going well to be born in late February! Healthy New Year from all of us!]
On Boxing Day we headed to the cinema to see Vice with Christian Bale as Dick Cheney. Quite extremely, extremely, interesting, filmically speaking, and the subject matter makes one's blood boil. Analogous to what Trump is now doing to the environment, international relations, etc., although Cheney was almost invisible and far more Machiavellian, easily manipulating a weak-willed Bush in his single-minded pursuit of absolute power. Must away as I need to put another log on the fire and then shovel the front sidewalk again. Did it yesterday afternoon but it continued snowing all day. Fondestos from Lady Dar and Chloë to one and all and we wish everyone a Healthy New Year! Cheers, Patrizzio!

Lady Dar is moaning and groaning beside me, as I scribe, swearing like a trooper, at an Excel spreadsheet as she, as church treasurer, works on Oasis's 2019 budget. Linda Ervin just called and invited us for coffee and cake around 3:00 pm this afternoon. Her niece, Kyla, is in town for a few days so it will be a treat to see her again. Last time was with Zircon, this past fall. Pic: Sidewalk this morning!
Hi Linda et al! Thank you so much for the lovely afternoon. It was more than a delight to see Kyla again and to meet her parents, Carol and Eric. Terrific to get to know more of your family. As well I was pleased to meet Donlea and chat with her about mutual friends, Barb and Lynne, in Enderby. Furthermore, Ken knew our friends Gwynne and Geoff Battersby in Revelstoke so it was fun to make that connection. Thanks as well for the care package. Dessert for tonight while we are watching The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. Do you know this series? It is more than a hoot. Chloë told us about it. It is on Amazon Prime if interested. Must away as I'm to make a salad. Thanks again. Healthy New Year to you and everyone else visiting. Cheers, Patrizzio! PS: Please forward pics to your family and Ken/Donlea. Thanks.
