Happy New Year 2018

Happy New Year

A bit brisk in Texas, and I know it's quite the deep freeze around the nation.

Welcome back. Hope everyone had a good holiday, a week of family, fun, and also reflection and contemplation of what's ahead.

I already broke a resolution. Well.......I contemplated jogging. The thermometer proclaimed 28 degrees and I said, "Hell, no."  So, that's out of the way. Whew!

I do plan on posting more movie reviews, book reviews, and general jargon in 2018. I hope to attend some theater, symphonies, museum exhibits, and more. I'll give you peeks into the arts, and share the fun.

Write more?  Yes, it's a plan.

Fine writing, next to doing nothing, is the best thing in the world - John Keats

He did nothing; he was a poet - Sheila Mooney

I'm a lousy writer but a hellava lot of people have lousy taste - Grace Metalous (Peyton Place)

Let's have a laugh or two, and make the best of 2018.

Blog on!

  8. A laugh or two - sorely needed. I plan to chill more and stop hyperventilating about things beyond my control. Is that a resolution? We'll see...

    Happy New Year 2018 to you too.
