Ok, let’s try this again
If anyone is still around…
The holiday season is ending and so is my blues, for the most part, and it’s time for me to try to rejoin the world.
It’s actually been a pretty good holiday, overall. Snow on Christmas day and a wonderful snowy world on the 26th
On January 2 I played DD (Designated Driver) for one of the young ladies at work who turned 21 (Hi Jamie..). I haven’t been out late at a club in years and we managed to be the last people out of the bar at nearly 1am on the 3rd. Oh… And I was scheduled to work 3pm to close also on the 3rd. One tired old fart 
A good time was had by all. Unfortuantely Jamie doesn’t remember most of the last half, but we have pictures…
Still not knitting, but I’ve been helping out an older gentleman customer who learned to knit about 9 months ago after bypass surgery and the Doctor didn’t want him out amongst his dairy cows. He mostly does garter-stitch scarves in fuzzy yarn on big needles. Quick and easy and all of his grandkids love them.
Mostly work is keeping me sane. It gets me out of the house and forces me to interact with people and that’s really what I need right now. I’ve spent too much of the past two months buried in my own thoughts. And working with a bunch of young people (nobody over 32 and most are 21 or younger) is keeping me young — or at least feeling young.
I intend to start posting regularly again, and right now my attitude is positive enough to believe I’ll follow through.

This time of year is hard on a lot of us, so I understand the need for a bit of introspection. That said, glad to see you back, and here’s hoping that 2008 will be the best year yet.

Glad you are back! Of course we are still here. Great snow picture, I am longing for some snow down here in the valleys. Just a little.

Keep hanging with the young people: they
