There are times that I envy my married contemporaries but having passed 60 I know that has passed me by as well. Probably a blessing as a confirmed bachelor would be a beast to bear for a good woman.

Some reading with good Christmas Carols and a couple glasses of reasonable port with Stilton. I love Loreena McKennit’s “A Midwinter Night’s Dream”.

I will be privileged to spend tomorrow with my 93 yo Dad (WW2/Korea & Vietnam) and my Brother (USMA 72) and his wife.

God Bless EVERYONE and goodnight to all!

LOL. I bet the marrieds envy you at times.

This afternoon I was thinking about how nice it would have been to have a family, kids and all. As I closed the kitchen cabinet door, I felt blessed that I was solo because I could do what I wanted when I wanted and there is no one to complain about it. I never hear any nagging. Life is tough at times and somehow I manage.

I dislike Thanksgiving. The focus is too much family oriented and that poor turkey. Christmas is focused on our Savior and filled with beautiful music about Him. Soothing, comforting and loving. We're never alone. He is with us. Sing to The Lord with all your hearts!

God Bless us all!
