S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y

Let's see who get's what that is a reference to. Here is
a hint, I'm showing my age.

So the Christmas Shopping for the family is done. All
that is left is wrapping, and Christmas Cards. Ick.
My friends are still on the "to do" list - although I
know who is getting what. It's all quite simple, and
a list makes it work every year.

It's the first of November, and it's currently 75 degrees
out side. What's the deal with that? Not that I mind,
it is just odd.

Seb's birthday is Monday. So- Happy Birthday! I
sent him the perfect gift. (He knows, and that's all
that really matters, eh?) Hard to believe you're all
grown up. Remember that cold day at the train
station? One of the famous weekend trips I use to do!

My friend Connie tells me Frankfurt is all dressed up
for Christmas. No one (NO ONE) does Christmas like
the Germans do. I tell you, you haven't experienced
what the Holiday is like until you visit Germany right
before Christmas. It's Unreal.

I look forward to this year being over. Lord, I'll be 45
in a couple of months. How can this be? Seems to me
nothing has changed- except less hair, and more weight!

The election is in a couple of days. I've never ever been
uncertain as how to vote- yet this time I am. It may
take being at the booth to make the final decision.
Neither one does anything for me. The only up-side
is that in just a few short days it will all be over with and
no more NASTY stuff on the T.V. about who is lying about
what.

Tonight is fall back, the extra hours sleep will be greatly
appreciated. The drawback is that the sun will now go
down at 5pm. That is not a nice prospect. Winter is here
children, and it's gonna be hideous.

Everyone knows about the "problem" around here.
Well it was okay for about three weeks, and it's back
to the same old story. I'm so over it. Yes, I finally told
them "you were my friend and most trusted ally, and
now I don't even know you. You've changed more than
anyone I've known in my almost 45 years of life."
They need to go. Nothing left to salvage.

Okay- off I go................be good!!
