I went to the Y this morning, late morning actually, to swim. On the way I did some little errands: the bank, the hardware store. My swim was pleasant, and I did more errands on the way back. As I walked up Court Street I was reminded of how pleased I am that the holidays are over and that all the jollity and frenzy of the run up to Xmas and New Year's irritated me so this year. It's not that I didn't enjoy the holidays, because I did. But the frantic buying and consumer frenzy are ugly.
