Writing Life

A periodic record of thoughts and life as these happen via the various roles I play: individual, husband, father, grandfather, son, brother (brother-in-law), writer, university professor and others.

2010

Happy New Year to one and all!



The first 24 hours:

  • watched the ball drop in Times Square; while I'm glad Dick Clark is still around, I don't necessarily think he ought to show up on TV
  • a decent night's sleep
  • a quiet morning as the family slept in, breakfast, exercise
  • two movies in the afternoon: A Christmas Carol and 2012
  • evening at home watching a couple episodes of Lost
  • discovering that the home computer has screwed up

I watched a bit of Dick Clark's count down and I couldn't believe how he looked and sounded. So sad...but, I have to admit that it was also a bit moving to see him still trying to give his best to the world.

I agree, Mark. I was both glad and sorry to see him there.

And Dennis, my sister-in-law somehow unscrewed the computer!
