Consolation prize

 

 I had hoped to be invited to light the tree at Rockefeller Center this year, but the call never came.  

Although I had been told that Aretha Franklin was going to condition her involvement upon me being included, apparently she forgot. Perhaps her handlers talked her out of it.

 In the midst of my disappointment, I was mollified to at least receive a local tree-lighting invitation. "Lambie," I said to myself, "Remember that there's no place like home for the holidays."

Hey Lambie,

Did you know that I'm coming home tomorrow? No? Well, I am!

I can't wait to see you, we'll get some serious chill time in. Btw, you are looking sharp! Keep it up!
