Where Does the Time Go?

It's been over two weeks since last I posted.

Where does the time go?

Part of the time drain

was surrendered to the black hole

called computer crash.

I lost virtually all my photographs,

something that makes blogging a trial

since I am a firm believer in 

words + images.

Don't worry. . . my eldest son

thinks he can salvage them on Saturday

when he, his wife, and their two boys

come for brunch and present opening.

I'd say the rest was frittered away with Christmas preparations,

but that's not accurate. 

I did decorate two trees and buy a few Christmas presents

but I spent Christmas eve and most of Christmas day

by myself, reading and watching my favorite movies.

Having children with in-laws who get a share of holiday time

means time alone if you don't have a significant other.

I've read 3 novels and a memoir in the past five days

and watched favorite movies

(plus -- a week ago, I saw "Green Book" at Grand Cinema).

So, life is good, even after my health scare two weeks ago.

And, though it's late,

I wish you. . . .
