It's been a swell year...........

Sure it started with big change and ended with way too little rain, perhaps a little pain. Welcoming the pain and enduring the fun when you have that something special you pick yourself up and run.

Our friends forgave and even gave, us that special this or that which helps shape us tit for tat. Without them, could we blame them, for needing to love them.

I am as you are, tired at the end of another gloriously, victorious day. This tired stature betrayed by satisfaction of accomplishment adorns a chest held high and prideful.

Four letter fun.
Frolic in the sun

Early to bed
Sick in the head

Smiling in angst

The richest of kings

Why do as they do

The crazy bird sings.
