Last Minute



My wife is at the dentist's office. Who schedules a dental appointment for the day before Christmas? Now we know the answer. This year I was able to persuade her to use my time-honored technique for wrapping presents (aluminum foil) although she's ruined the impromptu effect by making careful folds, using tape, and adding nice ribbons. The result looks like a desirable gift instead of something which should go into the refrigerator. Today's sky is clear and beautiful. Leaves are still falling. Neighbors are dropping off presents. The dog freaks out every time a delivery truck goes down the street but I've learned to ignore it. I'm working on an online class and reading management books. The drugstore is on my agenda. I wonder if I need to pick up any last minute gifts. Reviewing the list to see who might like a bottle of Brut aftershave or a bag of almonds.
