Well, I lived through another birthday.  You remember that hymn,
“Ancient of Days, Who Sitteth Throned In Glory”?  That was written
about me, LOL.  Yup, I’m getting older… I still know SOME dirt
that is older than me, but not much.

Still, I feel pretty good.  Had a great year, starting last
December 3rd when my 3rd ex-wife contacted me and started a wonderful
friendship, got back together with my SerpentStone Family, met my sweet
Kayla and handfasted her… everything has been wonderful
overall.  I’ve also been off the psych drugs that were helping to
mess me up instead of helping me, for more than a year.  The
things I’m doing instead are working wonderfully, and I’m more involved
in the community than ever.  Not to mention a WHOLE LOT HAPPIER.

Yesterday, Kayla and I went out shopping to Tuesday Morning.  If
you have a Tuesday Morning in your town, do yourself a favor and check
it out.  It has lots of really neat stuff that thee and me could
never afford — but the people who COULD afford them didn’t buy them,
so they are now at Tuesday Morning on closeout.  This is NOT Big
Lots, the stuff is so much cooler.  All we bought were some Betty
Boop plates and bowls for Kayla and a new wallet for me, but it was so
much fun looking around. 

After we got home, I got cleaned up a little and we went to see a
professional basketball game.  The NBA has a small 6-team minor
league called the NBDL, and Asheville has a team.  We were playing
Fayetteville tonight.  No contest, and almost nobody showed up for
the game.  Might have been a hundred or so fans.  The
cheerleaders were not very good, the halftime show was a local high
school gymnastics club, and the game was never close (OK, Fayetteville
got as close as 6 points behind, but 26 was more typical).  We
have tickets for the Ashevills Aces minor league hockey game on the 1st
of January.  Hope it’s more entertaining.  At least we can
say we HAVE hockey — the NHL is still locked out and not a single game
has been played this year.

We’re going to church again in the morning, the local church is very
eclectic but very spiritual.  I wonder what Howard has for us
today.  Gotta come home and watch the Panthers again, win or
lose.  Probably will have to sleep sometime.  And Monday is
Laundry Day, while Kayla has some calls to make about a job.

Oh yeah, Kayla GOT A JOB, yayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!  She has to call
Monday to see if her uniform is in, and then they are talking about
scheduling her for lots of hours.  I’ll miss her, but the money
will be nice.  LOL forgot to mention she’s going to be working at
McDogfoods.  Maybe they’ll put her in a Hamburglar suit,
hehehehehehe.

Guess that’s it for now.  Oh yeah, I have a student again. 
She will be Dedicating on the 3rd of January.  I think we have
class on Monday.  Probably going to do a viewing of “The Wicker
Man”.

Love you all.  Irish, hope you get your family problems ironed out… or a new family…

Hugs,
Me
