Happy Birthday, Zoe.  Pretty impressed by this lovely human being.  Good luck starting college tomorrow.  Love you.

And the sad news of the day is Jay is gone.  RIP  05.09.53 - 01.11.26
I have no formal announcement or any solid information, yet, just a message from his daughter that he went last night.  Once I know facts, or once I am able to share information I will, but until then light a candle in his honor, remember him as the smiling, really smart, always giving man that he was. My heart is really heavy and I am both in shock and not surprised.  I love you very dearly, Jay Jay.

  December 11, 2025 I got to see all three of my siblings this year, what a treat.  Also, I got to see all three spouses, double treat.  I only saw 2 of the next generation and then 4 of the next generation.  I guess we just don't live all that close any more and I have a hard time making it to holidays or doing any traveling at all. It was another day of no photography and no creative writing.  I did get some work done and I did go to LAVA, but my time of loneness was spent organizing the have to's in my life.  I also was in touch with many friends and making sure all were well.  All were well.  So again I offer no insights, I offer no entertainment, nothing really beautiful to look at.  But I am checking in and saying good night.  Here's to happy dreams.   Good night.

December 4, 2025 A Hole In The Sky. I didn't get a nap today, I did get some stuff done.  I went out into the world today and I met the specialist doctor of the day. I feel that each merry go round. representing the three medical issues I am having, is organized and moving forward, which is better than 2 weeks ago when I felt trapped in a maze of the medical world's making.  I'm also going to teach myself the details of the digestive system of our bodies so I can have a better understanding of the information that is thrown at me in these appointments.   photo by Gary Gary went down in the basement, a job usually handled by T., and discovered I have more oil in my tank than I thought.  I was worried about running out during this 2 day cold burst.  But I have a month or so before I need to figure out emergency fuel stuff.  Tomorrow I will fill out all the forms though and be all set for when I need it.  I also have to fill out the forms for my Y me...

December 29, 2025 Happy Birthday Eliza Jean I get to see you this week.  YAYAY!!! www.brattleborotv.org/here-we-are/Kora Skeele, Director of Community SHOCK, NGO Here-we-are Kora Skeele I never get to brag about Kora, I should, but I don't get to hang with her in the same way I hang with EJ so I'm not regularly flashing the camera in her face.  I didn't even get to see her and the family at Christmas this year.  I may try to in the next couple days.  But Annie sent me this link today and I got to gloat about what a wonderful woman she is, I really love watching her be in the world.  If you got a little time, watch the interview.   She's kind of remarkable.  And yeah, I know I say that about a lot of my friend's kids, but it happens to be true and I happened to  be gifted with the role of Godmother to her.    Woke up this morning to ice and a sudden sense of despair.  I realized the idea of needing a new car was too overwhelming...
