trying to find somthing its like

hi all,
i love how commentators always try to compare news with something from the past. so let me give it a shot. the financial crisis is like a tsunami, the money and debt get washed out, then return as hyper inflation flood.

o well, something like that.

glad 2012 is almost over, fingers crossed for a positive 2013.

Holiday Season 2012 and Yesterday

hi all,
yesterday i finished up my third year in this part of the Florida Panhandle. It was a mixed feeling kind of anniversary... this is not a bad place to be, but it still doesn't feel like home... i have a few more cities and geographic locations on my "wish list" to try out that might be a better fit, but right now the basics of steady work and wages keep me making the best of this here.

i consider this the half way point of the holiday season i tend to observe. this is the hardest time of year to be alone for me, the anniversary of this time in 2007 sometimes is overpowering. that is an anniversary time that is much harder to recognize.

on a lighter note, the cards and gifts are finished up for the most part, not much in the way of gifts other than cookies and bob's red mill soup mixes but people seem to like them ok.

have a great season!
