I've survived the New Year festivities and am back at home, relaxed and content, nursing a glass of Canadian whisky and waiting for a Steven Seagall film to come on TV. I have been pleasant to my relatives, done lots of active listening, given sage counsel, eaten belly-stretching quantities of food and complimented the cook copiously, and generally been a sterling son-in-law. Now I say "what a good boy am I".
