Feeling Better Already

For the first time in memory I didn't attend services on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

A bad cold, though not incapacitating, made it unwise to risk infecting other worshippers.

Besides, one of the joys of Christmas is belting out the familiar carols; a horrid croaking does not harmonize with the music of the spheres.

'Twas a gray and cold Christmas; nevertheless a stroll along the Bay Trail for a few minutes was refreshing. I felt better already.
