Merry Christmas to Everyone
Book of the Week
I know most of you are familiar with this story from various films, but have you ever read this book.
I found the book to be an extraordinary self-help book, which was first published on December 19, 1843 and has never been out of print.
A Christmas Carol

Extraordinary People of the Week
This film was made for me when I retired in December 2009 or 15 years ago. It has been an exciting 15 years.
But I still treasure the time I spent with my work friends, many of whom I still see, my wife who has stuck it out with me for many decades and I always remember my cat Smarty.

I can’t believe it’s been another year, too, since I wasn’t a better person! lol Well, maybe a little bit. But definitely nowhere near planned.
Happy holidays to you!
