I realize my birthday is over as November is over for the year, I realize we just had Thanksgiving and I did not blog about it, and I realize that here we are coming up on the winter holidays, that we are by now in the Yuletide.

In fact, it may as well be a book. So perhaps this blog entry has now become the preview of a book. But, well, okay, the book will just have to get in line like all the others before it that are either planned or already in progress.
A traditional meaning of 18 degrees Scorpio is "
