Thank you to all who have written worried that they haven’t gotten all my posts recently.  I hope that you will all get this and I am not writing as many because every time I do a political or foreign policy one it seems that it is overtaken by events as I close.  Let’s hope 2018 moves a touch more slowly and I can keep up.  In the meantime a Very Merry to all – and I’ll write you again in 2018.
