So, OK, this is more an apology for not having the diary ready. (And a hope that allie will post some of her excellent comments to make it worthwhile to put this travesty up.)
I'd forgotten that we were caroling at the nursing home today.
And the new high-speed internet connection is finally working right. Hours disappeared into that.
And while I remembered last Sunday that allie was posting a diary, for some reason I skipped a Sunday mentally, what with travelling.
So I've read the Aristide interview, but I haven't yet organized what I want to say about it. If allie will forgive me that will go up next Sunday. (Yes, it's the day after Christmas, but in other respects it will be a normal Sunday for me.)
