STOP ASKING!
...whether I'm ready for Christmas.
I thought I was ready.
It's been a good Christmas.
The kids were over yesterday...
and all the grandkids.
We had EYE-talian...
Junior made Lasagna...
TJ made some really good chicken n pasta that I can't pronounce.
Plus some other stuff I can't pronounce.
And some good really deserts I wouldn't even try to pronounce.
Today was the family dinner.
Last year, me n Tommy were talking about how it sucked that Tex wasn't around.
Ernie was long since gone.
The year before that,
Tom n Tex n me were laughing about old times.
This year...
I was the last man standing...
in a house full of widows & orphans.
I spent a fair amount of the first coupla hours outdoors,
smoking more than I really cared to...
and the last hour or so back where I started...
in the scullery, just to be alone.
Thanks for asking.
BRAT!!
