Strange feeling, tinged with sadness,

as I realize Christmas is over, after I looked forward to it SO much, and it was SO good in so many ways, (Piper called it 'perfect'), but now it's over, after it went SO fast. I try to talk to myself out of the melancholy, by telling myself how lucky/fortunate I am, with the best kids/wife/family
ever, but that feeling's still there, way down deep. Just part of the human experience, I guess, but that doesn't make it any easier. Part of it is cuz I keep getting the feeling that I should call the folks, and then I realize I can't....
Oh well, time for dinner, Carol fixed a fantastic prime rib, there's 4" of sparkling new snow, with more coming down, and Bailey's stretched out beside the fireplace. Life is good, but tinged with melancholy some times. I guess for every peak there has to be a valley, and it could just be fatigue, cuz we were up til after 2:30 playing games. Time to just sit and 'Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow'...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

OK, I know this is gonna

piss off some people, but sometimes I just want them to wake up and use the brain they were born with. When you get a LOT of people who don't care about facts, and are proud of the fact that they, 'take it on faith', you got a treasure trove for a political organization. Joila! The Christian, Repub Party unholy alliance is born. These people don't need any proof, they just take stuff 'on faith', and are PROUD that they can 'turn off their brain' when there's a conflict between fact and faith. This was HUGE, when Karl Rove and those of his ilk realized the possibilities. Hence, the modern Repub Party/Christian coalition. Speak of God and patriotism and you instantly get millions of knee jerk votes. Scary, but very true, as most voters really don't have the time or inclination to follow facts. When you have millions of people who believe the earth is 5000 years old, and actually believe in a literal Noah's Ark, they wil...

Not sure why,

BUT, am still wearing the necklace. Has been a tradition, for over 30 years, to wear the necklace, 'for awhile', until I lose the feeling, of the beach, in Mexico. Can't say why, but, still have it on. "Tis a sad day, when I take it off, and am not ready to go there, yet. Don't ask. 'Tis an old tradition...
