Tis the day before Christmas & all thru the house—yes there is a bustle. Ron & Doria arrive from N.Y. for lunch. Patti & her friend Paul Grilley will be in late. Christmas Eve dinner at the Wicks is beginning to be a tradition. One cloud in the sky. I’ll keep to myself—the threat world wide by the Iranian fanatics to loose terror on everything American. The Wicks dinner was as always a warm, wonderful time with long time friends. I played Santa Claus—another part of the tradition but my 1st time to play the role.
