I apologise for the delay on chapter 11 of A Lodi Christmas. I took a couple of weeks in sunny Spain (Seville) to get away from the awful wet and dreary weather in the Pacific Northwest. I can see why so many people visit there in the winter (especially you Brits who share this dreary weather). It was warm, the food fantastic, as is the wine, the women are beautiful, the people are friendly and it is cheap compared to many places in western Europe. Of course I got back just in time for the Coronavirus apocalypse in western Washington. I'm rereading my John Ringo Zombie apocalypse books and using them as survival manuals for when the hordes from Seattle descend on my wet little city in search of toilet paper and hand sanitizer! Wish me luck... Nemo
