The obvious…a new year has begun…well, six days ago.

So far it’s been a pendulum swing…

On the third we welcomed Baby Bella to the world. She is our daughters newest addition and is of course cute beyond words and better yet…healthy. I’ve only seen pictures so far due to the fact that there is an upper respiratory thing going on in my chest and it would be uncool to expose Bella to what ever it is.

Thus a pendulum swing…

So many days have passed since the last entry due in part to lack of enthusiasm and material.

I haven’t really gauged just how this year will pan out. Mostly because it’s so new but also since an emotional event has occurred in the birth of a new grandchild and I feel numb about it. That’s not meant to be insulting or demeaning just a fact.

Of course just because the calendar says it’s a new year it’s still just a few days removed from the last. So getting all giddy about a new year and resolutions and such is more an exercise in fooling oneself than experiencing a real transformation. These things take time not just a new calendar.

I’ve avoided these pages of late due to what you’ve read so far today…

Being a buzz kill is not something I aspire to, but has come to the fore by default. For any number of reason’s, still not very appetizing.

To play along I will state a resolution, that what gets written here in the coming days, weeks, month, year…will be a bit more upbeat. Less about numbness and more about the fun things that go on around the house of Curmudgeon.

To the first post of the new year…may it be the last downer.

As always…I must be off.
