Today, for the first time in three years, I'm once again celebrating Christmas. It feels beyond wonderful to be able to share the holidays with someone I love and who loves me. I'm enjoying being able to celebrate this time of year instead of merely enduring it. I hope that all y'all will have a joyful, safe, and relaxing Christmas. Though I'll never meet the vast majority of my readers, you're in my heart and I'm grateful for each and every one of you. Feliz Navidad y'all!!
Now get off the computer, grab some egg nog, and share the joy with your loved ones!! ;-)

Loved ones, aka my kids are in bed or at least for the older one chatting with his GF holed up in South America, it’s all good.
Jack, I hope this Xmas fills your dreams, and the coming year helps you to overcome the issues that face you, past and present, and gets you on track to a happy and wonderful future. You, my friend deserve it!
