Another year has rolled around.  Leap year and election year.  We are both sixty-five now.  Don’t really feel any different than sixty-four.  We have the rest of our lives ahead of us.  Now what can we do about that?  I intend to get out in the outdoors more this year.  And I intend to write more.  I haven’t finished a book in two years!  That’s bad.  I got bogged down in the Civil War era book I started last year.  It seemed like I just started running in circles.  Time to stop and try a new yarn, or rather pull an old one out of my started-and-dropped bag.  We’ll see how that goes.  I think I want to back out of some of the organizations I’m in and concentrate on getting more done in fewer organizations.

 

Our collective health is fine.  We’re suffering the effects of time, but considering the alternatives we ain’t doin’ too bad.  We’ve had some cold weather and a little snow, so I think we’ve had enough Winter and time to get on to Spring.  Bobby is creeping up on eleven it’s time to get serious about fishing and hunting.  The economy sucks at this time, but the bad thing is it’s really not that bad.  It could get a lot worse.  Better shut my mouth before I stick my foot in it.  This is the time of year our politicians start getting really stupid just to get our attention.
