Jeez, guys, that's the beauty of being a blacksmith.  Bad boys get
coal!  Badder boys get more coal.  Why do you thing we force ourselves
to pursue beautiful women [1], gag down 12 year old whiskey and
wantonly throw our hard-earned money away on shiny (well, sometimes
greasy or rusty) playthings?  I dunno if Santa just hasn't caught on
or if he's playing along with a nudge and a wink.

I got two Terry Pratchett movies, a whole season of Xena the Warrior
Princess on DVD [2] and Neal Stephenson's latest great fat book [3].
I may not start a fire in the forge again until mid-January.


Happy Solstice, merry Christmas, happy New Year or, as they say in Niu
Gini, Bikpela hamamas bilong dispela Krismas na Nupela yia i go long
yu.
