Hello Grafted In Readers,
Today is the last day of Autumn, in my corner of blog land. By this time next week, Christmas, Boxing Day, and probably too, stores will be experiencing the return of unwanted purchases made in the holiday rush. I have never been part of that return crowd. One year, my wife and I went to a major store to join the midnight madness for Black Friday. Never again! The register lines were long, and the atmosphere was tense and crowded.
I will be playing piano next week for holiday diners: Sunday, Monday and Tuesday afternoon, respectively.
On the routine front: I am still reading
"Any Two Can Play", 1981, Elizabeth Cadell. It's an entertaining read, probably more a novella than novel per length.
My book, "Homecoming: A Memoir" is available for a reasonable price both as print and EBook on Amazon and Smashwords.
ISBN: 9780463166895
Thus far nearly a dozen readers have purchased and tell me they are either enjoying, or looking forward to reading it. A sample portion is available at

Finally, do you ever wonder what folks eat for their Christmas holiday dinners elsewhere?
Germany doesn't seem to be too far removed from north America. Here's a snippet from
www.germanfoods.or
The traditional Christmas meal features duck, goose, rabbit or a roast. This main dish is accompanied by German delicacies such as apple and sausage stuffing, red cabbage and potato dumplings. Dessert typically includes Christmas Stollen, considered one of the best Christmas pastries in the world!
If you observe Christmas, may the day be special for you and those whose company you keep. Remember someone less fortunate and send some prayers or positive thoughts their way. The Lord is their shepherd, too.
Kevod Yeheveh, His Presence be with us.
Mellow Rock
