We are now in the slow, arduous process of recovering from Christmas. Mostly this involves walking around in a daze and trying to figure out what the hell we’re going to do with all the candy that my interlocutor’s family likes to throw around at Christmas time. Motivated more by love than common sense, she has supplied me with a bottle of Fernet Branca as a holiday tipple. Hopefully this won’t set us back far enough to interfere with rocking out for New Year’s.
