Creeping closer to the new year...

Off the grid a while.

Many doings with mom, including a nice evening at the Fine Art Center seeing The Sound of Music.

Got the house back to ourselves on Christmas Eve. Quiet dinner of clams and linguini with K, scones for breakfast on Christmas morning, and a movie yesterday afternoon.

Not sure exactly why, but beat. Been having a hard time getting the old energy level back to normal, but did manage a trip to the gym this afternoon and a bit of writing this morning.

T.E. Lawrence tome is first rate. Really enjoying it. Got a new book on Dr. Johnson (The Club) from K on Christmas, so Iā€™m all set for some great reading for a while.

Early coffee tomorrow with my buddy, G. Missed one another before the holiday, so eager to catch up.

Miss my boys.
