Billy is asleep next to me on the red couch. Nothing new. I am not meditating enough these days but hearing the monks from india helped today get in the practice. The practical mode.

Noel will be gone so soon...I really really cherish this season every year. Outside, only rain, not the flicker of a snowfall or snowflake even!

I got an email from my older sister in law: nice big long one. All is well and they will be reunited for Noel to make gingerbread houses (mother and sons).
