Status: offline 		At the first of five services at our church on Christmas eve. I work sound and my family is intricately involved in four of the five services, so I sit here pushing peoples buttons (sound joke) and think about all that I am thankful for in the last year. Quite a few of those things are the friendships I have developed in association with the best and last computer game a person will buy, War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition!

To all, a Merry Christmas to you.

It's a bit melancholy these days. She'll turn 79 in January, and every Christmas I can't help but wonder if it'll be the last we have together.

Sorry if I'm bringing people down, but there it is.

You're not. It's just part of the deal of life. Cherish each chance you get.

Not at all. I wonder the same thing with my grandpa. He didn't even
know who I was tonight.

I'm glad you got to spend it with her, Brother!

Treasure these days. My Mom and Dad are long gone ... My little one looks at their pictures, but will never know them. Sad fact of having a child so late in life ...

It's been extremely warm (records both Sat and Sun) here, in the upper 70's, but today's rain is bringing cooler temps. I just saw the hourly forecast temperatures through 8am Christmas morning: 29 degrees. If that holds true, my Christmas morning swim in our new pool will be an official Polar Bear swim.

I'm gonna make sure our new fireplace is already cranked up to go with my eggnog post swim.


In past few days we here unusually warm spell... the temperatures are as high as 16 degrees Centigrade... it is more like early October than Christmas and New Year...

I, too. When my mother was 69, she had a seriously major stroke. The entire right side of her body, including her right brain, no longer functions. We all thought that was it. But she's 87 now and still going strong; alert, lucid, nasty as ever, can't speak but can grunt, groan, and sigh, intelligeably. The elderly are a lot stronger and way more butt-headed than we think.

Don't be melancholy, my friend, she might just surprise you. But, in any case, take what you get while you can get it. The elderly are susceptible to melancholia, so don't show it. Love them and confront them, engage them and challenge them; it's what keeps them alive and aware. When the time comes, as it will, you will both be prepared to deal with it. It's a glass half-full, or half-empty, kinda thing, and old as our parents are, they are still sensitive to their environment.

I utterly hate being philosophical. But every now and then ... please forgive. John

I just spent a very happy day and a half with my Dad. He's 83, and it's the 1st time I've seen him in nearly four years. Although he's very healthy , I can't help but wonder if I won't see him again. I'll always take his phone call , no matter how inconvenient. I made that mistake with my mom. She left a message , and I said "I'll call her tomorrow". She passed that night.
