it has been a nearly perfect first morning of winter...
a brisk morning walk as the sun rose across the bay,
the fox scurrying across the ice, paralleling our path,
and suddenly an amazing waft of orange essential oil....
i am thinking it was from the bakery at the store....
i got home and got spiffed up (northwoods version)
to go to the talent show at the HS where i heard my
son play an acoustic duet with his best mate
(radios in heaven by plain white t's) plus he played
one of his own songs (jumped the gun)... the spanish
class did a HILARIOUS skit about "rudolfo el reno de la
nariz rojo".... just a lot of laughing and merriment to
end the year
then a quick trip to the courthouse to drop off paperwork
found me in the midst of the little catholic school kids
a'wassailing so i joined right in and was invited to sing
the next song with them.... which i did, ending with wishing
everyone a jolly and a merry....
back home, returning a call that finds me invited
to xmas brunch....
damn near perfect first morning of winter
being clear of the b0rg has allowed me to
be able to just love the life i have now, and
see that there are so many little things, so
many little choices that make it good
bon hiver, mon amis
