Hello. Welcome to the first posting of Eric's "Average American" blog.
I guess the obvious thing to do is to stream-of-consiousness yammer about Christmas, holidays, New Year's and depression. Perhaps I won't do that and surprise you.
Nope, no surprises here.
Christmas. My wife was ranting about how "all people" try to be kind to each other one day a year. I didn't point out that not all people are Christians or celebrate Christmas.
Besides, I've got a new dog (Bug) who is part Beagle, part Pug and I'm watching a James Bond marathon on Spike TV. (Oh, I'll have to chat about Spike Lee, his ego and television at some time).
