The decorating frenzy that has gripped Tom is getting worse. At least now he is just talking about what we will do NEXT year. (I am sure this will all have passed long before I actually have to help install gilded wallpaper behind the television set.)This morning he suggested that each year we take a -stan as a theme: Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Hindustan, etc. [In case you were wondering, -stan comes from the Persian word for land, so these names are basically like England, Newfoundland, Ireland, etc.]
I pointed out that I think this year we are already on the verge of Tackystan.
