i wrote some books and gave away library. i like to think that every poem is a love poem. i believe that "No" is a full sentence. i used to collect old books and young cats. i don't like noisy people, places or things. my three favourite words: yes, please, thank you. my favourite punctuation mark is the colon: i have a beautiful cat, a bicycle, an old typewriter, and a ladle. these things make me happy.

CHRISTMAS DAY

Well here we are and it is Christmas Day and there's not a soul in the old neighbourhood that is perambulating about. I checked up and down the street when I took the dog out for a quick walk around a couple of blocks. It was a long night no doubt for everyone including me.

I love early mornings but preferably when I've had some sleep. Just dropped in to say that I hope everybody was good and left Sandy Claws cookies and milk and maybe a little something to warm his toes, if not outright curl them. It's the peace and quiet of early mornings that I love so much.

The temperature is a balmy 37F, the sun will come out although it will be overcast, the snow on the ground acts like a buffer and it's going to snow on Saturday - in fact it's going to be Snice - snow and ice = snice.

So, until I return hope you all enjoyed your Christmas Eve and that the children will have enough things to play with to keep out of your hair while you make the fixings for Christmas dinner.

Wishing everyone good health, peace, and an optimistic look forward. Please, don't drink and drive. I really don't want to be reading about you in the newspapers or seeing you on television. Not my idea of a good time.

God bless everyone!
