Letters From A Land of Grass: ”When The Furnace Goes Out”

I attached my story for this week, which is not at all about Christmas. Oh well. I'll have a story about the new year for next week so listeners will know that I keep track of time and holidays.

 

Meanwhile, I hope all of you enjoy the seasons of Christmas, the solstice and the new year. Thank you very much for all that you do.

Letters From A Land of Grass: ”Forcing The Spirit of Christmas”
