So day two.
New Years eve day. the tables have been set, the food prepared, the champagne chilled and the expectation of what the new year brings.
I have no resolutions except to try to be better in all my endeavors and to stop swearing. It's truly ugly how it sounds and I have had enough of ugly.

I hope for the normal things. good health for friends and family, a peaceful and painless death for my mother in law who is now well in to the late stages of Alzheimers and for my father in law to get settled into a nice facility that will look after him accordingly.

We shall see what it brings, this year full of uncertainty and strive to do better in all things.
My high school Alma mater was Altiora, I seek higher things and that sums up how I feel about 2017.

It should be a pleasant evening some family and a few friends and I really wouldn't want it any other way.

Here's to 2017 and higher things.....

I don't feel like the opening of the Death cab for cutie song but some of the sentiment is there

So everybody put your best suit or dress on
Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
As thirty dialogues bleed into one

I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then I could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that can hold us back

There'd be no distance that could hold us back 

So this is the new year...........
