as an end-of-the-year gift, how about i spare everyone, myself included, my perorations, divigations, indulgences, absurdities, non-sequiturs, and shrewd incisive commentaries to just thank everyone who actually seems to read these columns and, even more frightening, enjoy them ..... you know who you are ..... in lieu of all that, i wish each and every one a very
happy new year .....
next year: dr. pete will make sense
