We're glad to hear about Tim's schooling. Patience is supposedly a virtue. That's what I'm told, at least. It seems the two of you have been patient on this issue.

On another note (a sad note, actually): I have started Christmas wrapping. Sad, you say? Why, yes. Yes, indeed. Most sad. The wrapping occurs in the bedroom, as usual. A much larger bedroom it is, which should make the wrapping task easier. The sad part is that the wrapping occurs in the bedroom without a Santa's Workshop sign. Woe, despair, and agony. There being no children about, there is no reason, I suppose, for such a sign. And as last season's sign was mostly, uhm, . . . ignored, the elves decided a sign would not be posted. Therefore, while wrapping continues as before, it does so in an unposted Workshop. I wonder if this might entail a violation of union rules? Or if OSHA might investigate? Then again, does OSHA have jurisdiction? The Workshop is, after all, an extension of the one located at the North Pole, far from the borders of the United States. Which raises another question. Is Santa considered an alien under Title 8 of the United States Code? Does he have a Visa? Must he submit to a body scan? Or (shudder) a pat down? Yes, I'm meandering. Till later . . . Dad

  1. Well Dad, my first question after all that is, since Santa was supposedly in the North Pole first of all, or has he been located elsewhere, who has primary jurisdiction and that he's been around before the US and it's borders, and the fact that he is using his own transportation and not public, can they catch and prosecute them if the bureaucrats decide he deserves to be patted down or that he needs a work visa to deliver them there coal? If he does, who will enforce it? Who would want the PR for that? Also, from what the TSA tells me every time that I leave Ontario and pat me down, pat downs are necessary and for your own good so stop complaining, oh and even though your bags passed the scan, we are going to go through those to.
    Brittany says I'm done ranting too.

  2. I say that Santa and all affiliates get global diplomatic immunity. And maybe you should put up a sign anyway. Just for fun.
