No baby should be born in a manger. I bet it was Rudolph that<br>
got the last room at the inn!<br>

I was wondering if we might yet get a final blast of vintage Sandy humor before
Sandy Day (a.k.a. Hogmaney a.k.a. New Year's Eve) as the finale of 2008 ... <i>et
voilà</i>!<br>
<br>
Nice to witness a rare banter round between two of my heroes of Scottish wit.<br>

P.S.: I spent most of yesterday getting to and from the airport and waiting in vain
for someone to arrive. But there's progress: he's made it from Chicago
to San Francisco
and is stuck there now. Here it started thawing, and now it's snowing again ...
"White Christmas"? Bah, humbug! And loads and loads of e-mail messages awaited me
back home, some of them from some of you. Thanks.</span></p>
