New Year’s Resolution
Okay, this is a bit early… I’m posting it here because I’m going to need help from friends and family. Nothing active, mind you, just some support when I come to visit.

Thanksgiving
Man, has this been a busy week! I’ll start with Thanksgiving; I got to meet a lot of my in-laws (what do you call the father of your sister-in-law?), and see my brother’s new house. It sits on a beautiful 10-acre lot (with lake) just outside of Mexico, MO. Must be nice to marry money!Then, …
Happy Samhain
The Feast of the Dead, preparing for the Death of the Old Year at Yule. Also known as “All-Hallow’s Eve” or “Halloween” today. Dress scary, eat sweets. Have fun!
