Fifty first trip around the sun.

There are no posts for the year 2012, because from my perspective, the majority of it was horrible.

The universe reaped 3 people from my life. Two family members and a very good friend. It was greedy, and tried to take a fourth... unsuccessfully. Which resulted in probably the only bright moment last year. A wedding.

Will resume quitting the coffin nails. Last year's epic fail. It was going so well, until all the carnage started happening. Then it all went to sh!te. Hardest thing to do... and yet, long term probably the most rewarding. Quit.

Post Thanksgiving Bloat Post

The title says it all.

Apparently I consumed an excess of everything yesterday.... in some misguided attempt to prove how thankful I was. It was a mistake. Not being thankful... but the over-indulging part. I feel like a snake who's eaten an elephant.

Stretched beyond capacity.

But today is garbage day. A chance to burn off all that food with the multiple trips to the curb to continue purging the attic of 60 years of 'stuff'. The majority of which, is not even ours. The abandonments of former tenants dating back to the 1950's. There is a lot of history up there. Glassware for home canning, old newspapers, an old 75 pound cast iron sink, three old chairs... and cardboard boxes filled with other cardboard boxes filled with more cardboard boxes like Russian nesting dolls.

An urban archeological mecca of abandoned history.

Anyway back to the task at hand.
