Heck, it's only once a year. "Indulge!", I cry, "Indulge!" You might even swipe a box to bring home to your loving bride, thus exculpating your sins. :^) Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274757246538504796.post-50040004900839396832013-12-21T12:33:15.206-08:002013-12-21T12:33:15.206-08:00"there's only so much restraint a middle-..."there's only so much restraint a middle-aged guy should be expected to exercise."

"They are for gifts!" she reminds me.<br /><br />Oh how I remember those "bribes." Of course way back, as a cub reporter, the gifts that came to the newsroom<br />were from the telephone company pr man, labor union media contact, and the sort. No chocolate there, no indeed! Their seasonal offerings were of the spirit variety-bottled and occasionally aged. <br /><br />Cheers and no regrets this season!Tom Cochrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046822056852446079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274757246538504796.post-43181333629009525232013-12-21T07:29:47.029-08:002013-12-21T07:29:47.029-08:00Let me alleviate some of your shame, then.

I am certain that your shame runs deep, but I am certain that no-one will judge you. You might even consider 'taking all that thou hast (been offered as bribes) and give to the poor (who hath not been considered worthy of a bribe).' I just thank the heavens that I am not so righteous that I must have such temptations put in my way. Bon Courage! Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028121782477111901noreply@blogger.com
