the periodic thoughts of a middle-aged man who likes to stop and think about life and people and the convergence of the two.

Winter Vacation
we took a couple of days and got away from it all...or so we thought. it really is hard to get away from yourself. don't get me wrong. we had some laughs and plenty of fun. we had some good food and played some games. we actually got to go away from everyday worries for awhile. for me that meant that i did not have to think about someone else's children for three consecutive days. i managed to accomplish that. i read part of a very good book, Sleeping with the Devil. now though i am back at the real world. it is my mother's birthday. it is also my sister in law's birthday. we still need to get her a present. could not find what she might have liked at the gift shop. Val did not like that one bit. she was appalled that i bought sweatshirts for the kids and they picked out a present for the other Mom in their lives. GUFFAW! Well we can still wander over to Valu Village to find something for her. we could take her car (she has mine) but she took her keys with her. there are some control issues in our relationship. we do what she wants unless it reaches that point where i can tolerate no more. this image you see is the view from our window. i found this view quite pleasant. i enjoyed this view. i needed the peace and quite for a few minutes. so much chatter; so little actually said. hope you liked the view as much as i did. it is good to be home again. i can sleep in my own uncomfortable bed.
