The end of 2009 - finally

This past week we took Caryl's mom to 'las Noches de la Luminarias' , an event at the botanical gardens where they line the pathways with luminarias, and have musical groups singing while you partake of the grounds. That was about the only positive for the week.

As a final insult to me, the past week since Christmas has added more grief to my life. First, the day after Christmas I contracted a sinus/bronchial infection which is still hanging on to this day. This forced 3 days off work sick as a dog, and has embattled my stamina and spirits. Then, I found out late Sunday night a relative had suddenly passed away, further dimming my holiday spirit. Thanks to my other relatives for keeping up to date as to the details of her passing. My illness was too much to try and overcome, so I was not able to be there for her funeral today. Kay, may you rest in peace. As a final slap in the face, MIZZOU produced a lackluster effort and lost their Texas Bowl game to Navy 35-13. So much for any NYE festivities this year.........

All in all, it is a year I never care to repeat, from the accident, to Caryl's breast cancer, to the previous paragraph's transgressions. 2009 - I am sick of you, and glad that you are gone!!!!!!

To all, I hope for a you a happy and prosperous New Year.
