The long way to go is getting shorter
An election has come and gone
And a not against science administration is taking control
The pandemic still finds plenty of exponential hosts
But a vaccine or two or three are on the way
No matter what we think the future may hold
We hope it keeps us all together
The thin raft of friends gathered together here on TWiS
Are as much family to us
as all those aunts and uncles and second cousins we hear from this time of year
No matter what is going on in the world
We are in it together
Like birds of a feather
Speaking of bird feathers…
What do you think they do with all the turkey feathers this time of year?
We’ve got one at least one idea
