Fuck Off 2024

 Well, we are once again holding on to a tradition that started back in 2006.  Posting on the last day of the year.  2024 has been one of the worst years in my memory.  Just a shit load of grief and loss. Within a couple of weeks I lost my brother John and I lost the last of my mother sisters, my aunt Pat.  In the summer and in the fall, I lost two Theater friends, John R and Seana Munson and two cousins, Darren and Ed.  One of my sweet chihuahuas, Zorina, also passed away.  Then the election came and half of the country decided to put their faith in Donald Trump again apparently thinking he’s gotten better since the last time he was president. In February, I got engaged to that beautiful man I mentioned in last year’s post.  Looks like it’ll be a 2025 marriage if he’ll still have me which is somewhat in doubt at this very moment.  Relationships are really complicated sometimes.  So I’m doing my best to stay positive through a very depressing time that we are living in now.  It’s very hard to be hopeful as I always try to be in this blog.  If I’m back next year, it will be 20 years since I’ve been writing in this blog.  Some interesting stories, especially when I went to Iraq and to Kuwait.  Made a few friends, lost a few friends,  learned a few things, forgot a few things.   Goodbye 2024.  Hope the new year is everything for you.  Peace.
