Well,

another Christmas/Solstice come and gone. The in-laws were all here, with my parents. All in all it went pretty well. I got a very nice bike from Santa and have been very steadily improving. I went both days to the river walk and rode. I even passed people today.

Yes Jen, without falling over!

I have the week off from work. According to my boss it's well deserved. I guess that means I'm doing okay.

I even took time to watch Dr. Zhivago. I love that movie for some reason. The line where Victor tells Lara they both know she is not the first kind of woman. That being the "idealist", the second being "alive". I guess for those of us who are "alive" and yet married to an "idealist" it's a more significant moment.

I also think it's a very good character study of certain "types" of people: the idealist, the pragmatist, and the one's caught in between.

Plus I have a strange fascination with Russia, or what was the USSR. Don't know why, just do.

Holidays

Merry Christmas!

Happy Solstice!

Happy Haunaka!

Happy Kwanzaa!

Merry whatever!!!


I am very busy preparing for the family tomorrow. Mine and his, so I'll write in detail on Monday, or Tuesday. Whenever I sober up.
