Where is the holiday good news? This has been, so far, one of the worse year ending years I can remember in a long time.

I go to bed last night, a man in california is scheduled for execution just after midnight.

I awake this morning, a New Jersey town has a giant apartment building fire from a gas explosion.

I just read Jean's blog, Goals and Goulish things, she has a full schedule, seems like a full week of caregiver items to accomplish on achey knees and more snow coming. be careful, don't fall.

Oh, at last, some good news, my wife just brought in the mail. The first piece I looked at was my social security statement. It reads a 4.1% increase for next month. Don't let me think ahead to tax time, where they will get it all back plus more.

The life of a stroke survivor in retirement, is this exciting or what?
