I am sure that there are going to be other more eloquent words said and written than this and other more poignant  points will be made than what were stated here, but as an example of heart felt reflections this does a pretty good job of summing up the year for me too... Sometimes when my brain is locked up I can just sit at the keyboard and start typing and eventually I will come up with an idea from some where... lately the creative juices haven't been flowing... I'm not sure why. I don't feel well at the moment and I am very tired... I promised the kids we would have Champagne (Sparkling Cider), Well, Happy New Year I just spent an hour watching Groucho Marx and his brothers... hell of a cool way to start the New Year...

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.
