The morning after Christmas.

For most people, it’s back to work after a day off. The tree is still up, the trash bag overflows with crumpled wrapping paper and the refrigerator is filled with leftovers from a sumptuous holiday dinner. Fa-la-la-la-la is still ringing in our ears.

And then there’s Ron Herman.

Herman is a genial fellow I met a couple of weeks before Christmas, as the Christmas spirit was in full swing. The newspaper was jammed with ads for Christmas sales. Shops and radio stations were playing Christmas music. And social calendars were filled with Christmas parties and potlucks.
