I'm feeling disappointed after getting together with Toni and Kelly. There are fewer adults, and Toni is LOUD, and in a smaller group than what we once had she's just freaking oppressively loud. So I'm pondering producing a get together next year apres Christmas. Or not participating at all.

It's sad that Bob left, it's sad Diane left, it's sad Mom and Dad are dead. The kids aren't adults yet with spouses and kids of their own. It's a thin patch.

Odd feelings today. And I ought to consider taking down the Christmas decorations, which seems like nothing I want to do.

The buildup to Christmas is always so pleasant, it's like gentle foreplay. Then, suddenly, you're cold, naked and dripping semen. See you next year.
