A bittersweet year in many respects.
One of the bitter parts was the untimely passing of Steve Gilliard, remembered here on the successor to his own “Newsblog”, as well as a tad more… creatively?… in the Grey Lady.
We also lost Jim Capozzola. Other friends lost parents, including Lindsay’s dad. And others we know lost loved ones as well.
All in all, a difficult year to take, especially for my fellow males in their 40’s. There’s always next year, which we hope, will be full of promise, and happiness, and success: material and spiritual, and all that sort of thing.
It has been dreadful, hasn’t it.
Better next year, I trust.
Happy new year, by the way.
