December 25, 2011.   Merry Christmas -- Happy Chanukah -- happy holidays.

Another interesting year.   I again played Santa Claus and enjoyed every minute of it. 

My bucket list got a little shorter because of some of the things I was supposed to have experienced.  I can't really remember any of them at this moment but they must have been good ;-))).

Life is still busy - and when I look back on the previous posts --  I wonder how time flies so much faster as you get older.  Being busy isn't so bad  - but it has to have at least some semblance of accomplishment attached to it, even if the accomplishment is cleaning out a garage, fixing a motorcycle or just reading a book.

For those of you who are interested  -- the bucket lists are buried in earlier postings. 

While gifts may be nice, I really hope the holiday season brings you are healthy and happiness.  If you read the book about Steve Jobs you will understand that it is unnecessary and sometimes unwise to add the wish of prosperity.

best wishes.

I have again been reminded that there are rules about having a blog  -- as in -- there are responsibilities in posting.  I would think that the old adage would apply  -- If you have nothing to say then say nothing.

Anyway, hope all is well with everyone.
