December 19, 1993: I was going to get a Christmas tree but Mike Martin talked my ear off until it was too late

Thirty years ago today 

            On Sunday Nancy’s mother brought my daughter down to me. We were going to go get a Christmas tree when Mike Martin came over and talked my ear off until it was too late. He drove us up to Bamburgh to take my daughter back to Nancy and then he gave me a ride back home again.
