2017 - toe in the water

January 1, 2017 Folly Beach, SC

Suffice it to say the year begins with a lot of trepidation.

Garrison Keillor, in response to the comment that "The Writer's Almanac" now seems to be a form of resistance, a weapon with the potential to soften nationalistic hearts and provide a literary antidote to jingoism, says, "What poetry tells us is: you can gain the whole world and lose your own soul -- look to your soul.

I think I'll go re-subscribe to "The Writer's Almanac".

End of One Year and the Beginning of Another

For our 4th annual Christmas walk on the beach we had our nicest day yet. We wore shorts, had a picnic, flew a kite and walked for miles.


The New Year has begun with warm days, foggy mornings, and an overnight visit from Kathy's nephew, Luke who fixed my computer so that the wireless connection is back and I can move the laptop around the house again. Yea!
Luke is a serious cyclist and before he left town, he wanted to ride the Ravenel Bridge. He got this great picture of the bridge in the fog.

My resolutions are fairly standard. They have to do with weight, exercise, and thrift. There's also get a good job, learn something brand new and no whining! Let the games begin!
