Great chapter in American Ulysses on the siege of Vicksburg.
Christmas decoration by a co-worker. Today is a shopping day. Doing the Christmas markets, trying to get the last few presents. This year I did a lot of on-line orders. I am also giving out a bit of cash. I am looking forward to my usual New England Clam chowder and beer at the Grand Central Oyster Bar.
My first gift of the season, a $35 gift card.
