A Christmas Tale

The year was 1961. I was working in Boston at the New England Conservatory of Music as a receptionist. It was, in all respects, a wonderful year.

The two of us have been joined at the hip for more years than I can remember.

Martha

Yes, that Martha. The one and only Martha. Martha Stewart, of course.

Some of us may feel we’ve had our fill of her. Her ups and downs. Her celebrity. Her money. Her prison time. Her books. Her lifestyle. Her trials, her tribulations. Enough already, right?

Well, Now….

Here we are. Almost. The election Is nearly upon us. We’ve been under its sway for four long and curious years. We’ll be glad when it’s done and dusted. That might not happen overnight. But, someday, somehow, sometime, we WILL have a new president.
