TOMORROW IS VERY SPECIAL ...1-8-2017

XOXOX,

Dear Lara Elisabeth!

IT COMES AROUND EVERY YEAR... DOES IT NOT?

SO, WHAT MIGHT WE SAY?

POLITICAL ADIEU, 2016

So what might we say

Of this year almost spent?

In the wake of past promises,

Burdened and bent.

Great truth bore injustice,

Gentle souls sought their armor;

While pundits parsed pardons,

Toasting tea-party clamor.

As despots and allies

Collided, mid-air;

Their dangerous discourse

Seemed too much to bear.

Yet, binary schisms not

Only bring sorrow;

But a lonelier discord,

Insipid and borrowed.

May the cosmos forgive us,

This assault on our senses;

One of epic proportions:

For it razed moral fences.

May the [good]force be with us all, come 2017.

A TIME TO BE MERRY

PEACE...

JOY...

HOPE...

2016

THAT WAS '41!

This is 12-7-2016!

Who wants "old news"?

Happy Birthday,

Robbie Grenn!!

...and many more!

XOX,

Your family

Perhaps age 5?
