'Tis the Season . . .

Another weekend ends, another week begins. Thanksgiving flew by and Christmas is blazing a toward me like a speeding freight train with 2006 behind it. I personally won't miss 2005, as it has been a rough year for both Paula and I. I am hoping that 2006 sees some positive changes made, and possibly better health and financial security. I also hope to get out more, work more hours, make a trip to the homeland, and perhaps have a drink with friends once or twice. Damn, aren't I a simple man? Truly, I don't demand a lot to be content, and not much more to be happy. It just seems the few things I need are not attainable for me . . .

I am thankful this year, as always, for all the people who love us, and who support us. But more than anything, thankful for Paula, who I don't know why she puts up with me, but seems to love me more each day no matter how miserable our life might be. Time for bed, but that brings on Monday, which means back out into the cold cruel world. And when I say COLD, don't get me started! I hate the weather here!
