There’s not the slightest chance the f/k/a Gang will be writing about greedy lawyers or politicians, or otherwise engaging in punditry today. We’ve got a wintry mix changing into a rainy and blustery day here in my hometown of Rochester, New York. And, Mama G. is stuffing calamari and cleaning shrimp out in the kitchen, while I use her computer here in the den.
While we wonder whose flight will be canceled and where we left the Scotch tape, let’s let a few of our Honored Guest Poet friends help ease us into the peace and joy of Christmas Eve:
