Overeating too.<br /><br />Sounds like a great childhood. Those of us who had them are lucky indeed.Richard Bellushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108081864942272619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656921634940224775.post-39684010860949190252015-11-20T00:04:35.252-05:002015-11-20T00:04:35.252-05:00I’m always glad to have your quirky sense of humor...I’m always glad to have your quirky sense of humor at the table.<br /><br />The table might not be the Algonquin, but we’re working at it.<br />.<br />Richard Bellushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108081864942272619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656921634940224775.post-57181533557073162312015-11-19T19:58:30.655-05:002015-11-19T19:58:30.655-05:00Well, there's always Black Friday, though I...Well, there's always Black Friday, though I've never really participated--I say that fairly joking too. Although I wonder if there's a study that links depression after the rush of blowing a bunch of dough, and then too, having to pay for it later. Double whammy. :) <br /><br />I always enjoyed the holidays because I had a pretty close and loving family. It was a time to come together and relax, and my mom was also a great cook. They always cared for us kids like we were royalty, and for that I'm always grateful. My holiday activities have changed somewhat over the years. I'm going to try and incorporate some exercise and get outside to get some sun. It'd be nice to also take in some sort of live music or festive event. It doesn't have to be a paid or extravagant, just something you might like to do. There's a wood wind concert here at the university I'd like to hear and see, and a choral presentation at one of the churchs. I think it's a matter of getting out, being a little social, exercise, and then eat some good food, and rest a little.

Your generosity in hosting holiday dinners for the usual suspects makes this time of year something to look forward to.kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00748791043071682086noreply@blogger.com
