ERROR CORRECTION!
In the January PERSONAL SUCCESS - The Newsletter (our hard copy print edition) we referred to one of our sister websites in the DAX BOOK NOOK relative to a recent sale of one of the ‘’Mini Masterpieces'’ - ‘’Impetus'’ - as that is of significant $$-interest to a number of DAX-DOERS.
We just noticed that a hyphen was omitted in the URL: The CORRECT URL is: http://www.4-ArtSake.com (Go to du Vall page - scroll to very bottom). Fortunately, most all subscribers to P.S. also visit here every week!

’tis Christmas morn and I’m up early.
At four A - M, you’re either mellow or surly.
I am the latter - no surprise there . . .
’cause the DAX Elves left MY stocking bare!
No text to proof - no errors to fix -
No copy to be found - are they up to old tricks?
Do they want more money - more nice, juicy perks?
I’m getting tired of those weird little jerks!
They’re quirky - not perky . . .
They’re sullen - not gellin’ . . .
They’re picky and tricky and one is a shrew,
But until now, they have always come through:
So I phone the Chief Elf - he’s a nasty little bugger,
SuEllen hates him ’cause he always wants to hug her . . .
‘’Hey!'’ I say - what’s up with the team? My screen is blank - and the pickin’s are lean!
‘’Did your guys get drunk after a ’short’ (HA!) toot?
‘’Maybe, get in some fights and get wonked on the snoot?
‘’I mean, why is there nothing for me to post here?'’
Then, his answer came quickly and with a slight sneer:
‘’We ain’t workin’ when there’s partyin’ to enjoy!
We don’t care if we ARE in your employ!
If YOU want stuff for this week’s post,
Write it yourself - ’cause here’s the most
You’ll be getting from this ol’ Elf:
Have a Merry Ol’ Christmas - or go stuff yourself!'’
Hmmmm . . . considering the option . . . I’ll drink (green tea) to that!
Have a great day - enjoy all your new gifts - and maybe, I’ll see you here next week. Doubtful - ’cause, that’s New Year’s Day and you’ll probably be sleeping off the previous night’s festivities . . .

P.S. If you want a parting chuckle - here’s an oldie that’s starting to recirculate apparently, as we just received it from a couple different sources:
A husband is watching a football game when his wife interrupts: ‘’Honey, could you fix the hallway light? It’s been flickering for weeks now.'’
He looks up briefly and says angrily, ‘’Fix the lights - NOW? Is there ‘’General Electric'’ written on my forehead? I don’t THINK so!”’
Awhile later, the wife asks, ‘’Could you fix the refrigerator door? It won’t close right.'’
He says rudely, ‘’Fix the refrigerator door? Do you see ‘’Westinghouse'’ written on my forehead? I don’t THINK so!'’
‘’Well,'’ she says, could you at least fix the steps to the front door? They’re broken and someone is going to fall and get hurt.'’
Now, the husband is really ticked and yells, ‘’I am NOT a carpenter! Besides, I don’t want to fix those steps! Do you see ‘’Home Depot'’ written on my forehead? I don’t THINK so! I’m tired of you interrupting my game so, I’m going to the bar!'’
Several hours later, he returns home, and feeling guilty about how he had treated his wife says, ‘’I'm really sorry about earlier . . . say, I noticed that the front steps were fixed while I was gone. And the hall light seems to be working, too.'’ As he gets a beer from the refrigerator, he says, ‘’Wow! The door is even fixed! Honey, how did all this stuff get repaired, anyhow?'’
She said, ‘’Well, right after you stormed out of here, I sat on the broken front steps and cried. A nice young man came by and asked me what was wrong, so I told him. He offered to do all the repairs and all I had to do in exchange was either go to bed with him or bake him a cake.'’
The husband says, ‘’So what kind of cake did you bake for him?'’
To which SHE replies, (oh come on - you GOTTA see this one coming down the ol’ pike: ‘’Do you see ‘’Betty Crocker'’ written on my forehead? I don’t THINK so!'’
