Same thoughts different year

Milo's favorite shirt best expresses my feelings towards the passing of another year.  Still, I hope everyone had a happy and safe new year and that it brings many good things to all of you. 

Haven't had time to write much these days.  The holidays have kept me busy.  Not only is time scant (trying to use seldom used words even when they sound innapropriate.  Scant? just say scarce, you loqacious fool.  Maybe I am not loquacious but a bit garrulous.)  But the enthusiasm is also elsewhere.  I have tried to sit down and write and all I get is forced automotive contemplations like the one below.

Had a great Christmas.  Got great stuff!  A Bee Gees compilation!  Lately I can't listen enough to "Nights On Broadway".  I have been working on a Barry Gibb falsetto in case I ever get drunk enough at a Karaoke bar. 

An unexpected surprise was this:

Explanation?  Let's just say that being unconditionally nice and courteous, sometimes (not all the time) pays off. 

Christmas is great that way!  This sounds weird, but I love when I get a present from someone I did not get something for.  It seems more genuine.  There is a line from a song I like that goes, "You didn't have to do it but you did it to say, that you didn't have to do it but you would anyway."  That is the sentiment I am trying to describe:  Something unwarranted.

So, anyways, I am fine thanks.  Maria and Milo are doing well.  Looking forward to the new year.  Erick is still in traffic (if you were wondering, sono in transito continues!)

Related note:  I am reading a novel where a character goes to see a fortune teller.  The fortune teller tells him, "yes many things will happen to you."  She adds, " I could tell you about them but what's the use?  You will remain the same person throughout them."

I hope to write again soon.

Take care!
