"Not yet old enough for a man,
nor young enough for a boy..."
Twelfth Night, Act I, Scene 5, Lines 158-159.
A word of explanation about today's WSTFTD. I was looking through 'Twelfth Night' (set in December-January) for a Christmas-themed quote, when I ran across this one, and thought it topical enough to jettison a Christmas theme in favor of this one.
Merry Christmas to all fans of WSTFTD, (all five of you... ) and a Happy New Year. Will and I love you all...

Aristus
(66,367 posts)Four days away from clinic. A period of rest. Giving my blood pressure a break. Life is good.
Even better now that you're active on DU again. DU3 took a little getting used to for me. But I like it.
Oh, and guess what I found?
Merry Christmas, fizzgig!

I think there's more than 5 of us, aren't there?
The "man-boy" scares me!
Aristus
(66,367 posts)I don't know about actual numbers, but Will rarely gets more than five replies to a posting. Sometimes it's crickets in The Globe...
BTW, what's the code for the Santa emoticon?

Thanks!

You always do a wonderful job, and all five of us appreciate it...
Merry Christmas to you and yours...
