Ben Franklin had an interesting family. It’s not well-known, but his mom’s two sisters ran a bakery. One time they were overrun with vermin, and Franklin immortalized this in his story, “The Pie Rats of Ben’s Aunts.”
(Yes, it’s a joke, and Gilbert & Sullivan are smiling.)
Hope you find a place away from the holiday hustle and hassle and have a chance to be good to yourself. Best wishes for the New Year.
