what a night--well wishes to all who come here

[orleans]

my daughter went to a friend's house for the evening
so...i had plenty of time to think
and reminisce
and meltdown for awhile
watched the movie Noel (which might or might not have been a mistake--but i love that movie)
i can't even muster up the usual annual sense of of accomplishment(?)/relief(?) with "well, i got through another year" (my second thought was: "big deal.&quot

and to anyone whose heart felt broken
here's to you you're not alone

and to absent friends and loved ones:
until we meet again
