Hola Mi Amigo!

-> A good breafast, I'm sure.

It was a durn good one! I have enjoyed
several Hot buttered rums as of late and 
once the rum/butter mix is gone I'll do without.
With Annie dosing her eggnog with rum as 
well, we went through a fifth of Bacardi 
Anejo in the two weeks that Amanda was
here.

-> That must have been fun. Did Santa get any cool stuff?

It was a quiet and small Christmas
this year. Anne's mom is back in 
the hospital and it looks as though
the cancer had spread before the 
surgery got to it...and things are 
not looking promising...so the 
upcoming year will hold some 
budgetary restraints...starting
with this Christmas. 
 
->  -> I didn't come close to my record of 23, but I believe that

->  HN> Somehow I think I would have not made the 
->  HN> first string on that team!!
-> 
-> I felt a bit out of my league myself, and that seldom

->
Back in my navy days I could have held
my own I'm sure...but those days and 
that glory has long faded....and now I'm
a drinking wimp...seldom having more 
than two in a row anytime.

->  HN> Bummer! Sorry the original plans got

-> 
-> It was pretty subdued, which is fine.

As we say, it is what it is!
 
->  -> I also thought of hieing myself to the airport for the day,
->  -> but my brother would figure it out and probably be hurt,
->  -> triple sigh. I got me a 6-pac and a bottle of rough red

->  HN> For Christmas I'd have sprung for a decent

-> 
-> There's no glassware worthy of real wine in the house,
-> and the ambience, shall we say, lacks. The best glass
-> is a United Airlines one, and the best spot to sit is
-> in my room (formerly my mother's room), and rough red
-> is about the appropriate level of potation for this.
-> The rough stuff was Pillar Box, so it wasn't all bad.
-> 
Sounds sort of forlorn. I've spent a number
of Christmas's alone or at sea, and it always
seems a bit forlorn...much better to have 
companionship for the day.

Chat with you soon!
