And so we draw this year to a close...

I was reading a Dean Koontz novel on the plane on the way home Sunday evening and the terror inspiring character on which the novel was based became titled "ticktock".

Exactly how I felt as the plane bucked and shuddered beneath my clenched glutus.

I had a great time in NC with my cousin and his two boys. They were great kids and Billy's doing a great job of bringing them up right. He was always honest with them which I believe is fundamental to proper parenting . But really what would I know of that?
I know with a title like the one I've put on this meager morsel today, that those of you who read this regularly might be beginning to feel slighted. As you should. Today I saw King Kong. Go watch it. That's my emotional weekend, flying and chilling, flying and clenching. Sleeping, and watching a super drama, three hour spectacle of movie magic. Chilling with friends and drinking tea by candle light.

Ok maybe I wasn't as convinced that I was, as ok, with the possibility that I could die as I might have made it seem.... But I made it. Like donating blood to get over my fear of needles. I have looked that which scared me in the face and walked through the trial by fire of a lightning/rain storm on my first plane trip. Not exactly shaman worthy but I did try to examine myself through the entire endeavor. I'll keep trying.
OMG 2005 where have you gone?
