So far so good, Cheerygirl, but then it is only the 5th of January - it will take a few days or weeks or months for me to realise how wonderful life really is - I'm a slow learner.

Thanks Taps.  Isn't Dirk amazing!  I reckon he was the original superman.  When we watch ice hockey on television I'm also convinced that the players are supermen in training.

Laughing about Dirk Pitt.  I've read about him a time or two in the past and it's absolutely amazing what injuries he gets away with.  Lover your post.  Sorry you ended up with a booboo.

I'm sorry about the drunk asshole with the gun who terrified your dogs.  For the last few days we've had gunfire across on the island.  Ell hopes it's hunters even if it is out of season, but I don't think so.  On the 30th I saw the muzzle flashes as well as hearing the gunfire and the flashes were just across the road at the river bank - and there aint no animals worth shooting there - unless you count smugglers, that is.

News Flash.  I just got concerned at a shape floating downriver.  It looked so much like a capsized boat.  Ell dived for the binocs and found out it was an abandoned Christmas Tree. The detritus season has begun.

Pat - Thank you very, very much.  Your comment has tipped the balance.  I've been trying to analyse the apathy of 2010, and I'd almost come to a conclusion.  Your comment and another quote about doing 'what you like doing' has penetrated the haze.  Sure I like writing, but what I love more than any other type of writing is 'humorous' writing.  If I have a talent, that's what it is. Look out 2011!  I'll give you the main credit Pat.  I'm so excited - dammit - Tim Hortons is closed today.

You have no idea how stiff and painful I am today. For some odd reason I can hardly move my right leg and as for my neck - it is bluidy sore.  Yep, sam, I should have explained myself a few minutes earlier.

Kinda makes you ambivalent about excrement....maybe a little?

I remember the mid January rise in Nebraska. College students in shorts and tee-shirts playing Frisbee in the snow because it was over 20 deg F.

We spent New Year's hugging our trembling dogs while some fool emptied a couple large caliber pistol magazines, hopefully into the sky.

This "last blog" is the perfect example of why you're on
my favorites.  Let's hope 2011 has more Tim Hortons and less bruised knees.

I am so sorry you fell, but what a funny post! I love how you explained yourself to the Lord, too! So funny! sam
