Peanut Brittle for Dessert

3:45 PM Our final Christmas present arrived today, and it was a happy surprise. Wayne Watkins sent us a big tin of his incomparable, delectable, totally awesome, homemade peanut brittle. I never even liked peanut brittle until Wayne started giving us some of his about ten years ago. Now I’m addicted, but only to Wayne’s special blend. That’s our dessert tonight.
3:42 PM An atheist in Italy has filed a lawsuit to prove that Jesus never existed. Sorry, pal, you lost that one 2000 years ago.
3:40 PM Snow in Mississippi! It doesn’t happen often, but it happened this morning. Not very much, just a few flakes (they call it “wintry mix”), nothing like Chicago, but it was real snow, just not very much of it.
