I look like I’ve had too much wine. My one son looks like a demon and the other like a where wolf. Nice family celebration, as usually.

It’s perverse that I keep my land line, but I have some superstitious belief that when the apocalypse comes, land lines will still work and I’ll feel like a winner and call… Nobody.

My account got mysteriously suspended, but I AM BACK!

This cat is all up in my face!

With my kids, dressed for services. Happy New year!

My son with an armful.

I should start a blog for all you interesting imaginary people to post things that delight or disgust you in any category. Or maybe I’ll just start with my own.

Good Movie: The Debt
Bad Movie: Contagion

Good book: The Family Fang
Bad book: Before Ever After (I read it two weeks ago and can’t recall ANYTHING. )

Good Commute: Amtrack to Milwaukee
Bad Commute: Lake Shore Drive in a snowstorm or drenching rain

If any Chicagoish folks are fans of Lewis Carroll, I recommend Alice’s Adventures Underground at the City Lit Theater. Playing another few weeks.

New Kittens! The gray one is Pilgrim - nicknamed Grimbly. The little fella - any suggestions?

This is what happily retired looks like, back to gloat at the drudges who toil.
