CHRISTMAS EVE AND THE END OF THE YEAR
December 24, 2015
Well it’s Christmas Eve and with that comes looking back at the past year. I prefer doing it now to avoid the rush at New Years. As years go 2015 hasn’t been a great year it’s had it good and bad moments as I’m sure you’ll all agree. The good I published two more books and read 303 books. I learned how to carve wood and got pretty good at it. I remained reasonably healthy. My wife got to go to Disney World with our grandson and she too is healthy. The bad I lost my youngest niece Kim to a as yet unknown but natural death. This especially bad at this time of year because she loved Christmas like I do and she would always post pictures of her and the family decorating the tree. Her family is visiting her sister this year and that’s a good thing. As far as the rest of the world goes well not so good you get terrorists attacking everywhere and fear is the mood of the day. Politically speaking the US is a mess the republicans can’t seem to find a sane candidate and the Democrats have Hillary. Makes you want to throw up. Oh for those of you who don’t believe in Global warming it 74 degrees in New York today? Well Flounder and Jeff wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy and Safe New year. This is Flounder saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.
