So long 2019


I'm tempted to say good riddance 2019, after the heavy load of news we had to digest this year. But now, new things to look forward to in 2020. Like the elections?  OK, not many sane people would call elections "fun," but get ready anyway. Please, please vote. Our country could change again quickly, and hopefully for the better.

In Seattle, a stormy start to the New Year with thunderstorms and high winds that might cancel the Space Needle fireworks. I can't ever remember that happening.

We'll be tucked up at home, watching the Downton Abbey movie if the red envelope arrives today. Homemade pizza, then a roast beef dinner for New Year's day. And tomorrow morning, I'm taking my new Belgium waffle maker out for a spin.

Happy New Year, dear family and friends.


Yes
by William Stafford

It could happen anytime, tornado,
earthquake, Armageddon. It could happen.
Or sunshine, love, salvation.

It could, you know. That's why we wake
and look out--no guarantees
in this life.

But some bonuses, like morning,
like right now, like noon,
like evening.
