It’s Christmas people. Soon the New Year will be upon us. Time for elastic waist bands and fruit flavored Tums. Time for good cheer and reflection.

2008 was a mighty fine year. The spousal unit continues to let me live in the house. We have a great, great little guy, healthy and smart, to pal around with and to love on. I have a job and continue to pay the bills. All the family is well and accounted for. Progress was made on the song writing front. Even began, in earnest, to write a little fiction, something I’ve always wanted to do. All in all, I give it a solid 9 out of 10.

To all the readers out there, all seven of you, please have a happy and safe holiday season. And wherever your holiday travels take you, there you will be. Remember, climbing utility poles is really dumb and your mother loves you.

Most of all…peace.
