Holiday episode! Jacke surrenders to some seasonal melancholy and shares a story of his Grampa Johnnie, a Hungarian-American boy growing up in early-twentieth-century Wisconsin, where the forests were thick, the rivers were deep and fast, and life was rougher around the edges. 

Reading Joyce's Dubliners, an uninvited vacuum cleaner, the phenomenon of Not Knowing What To Say, tricky marriages, a call for Life's Unanswerable Questions, and a Jacke Wilson Object ("The Gift").
