I had a decent birthday thanks to two good friends and a nice
job. And the former friend, who I missed, wrote to me.
So, my loyal readers, I wish you a wonderful Christmas if that
is what you celebrate. Happy Kwanzaa if that is what you celebrate. Hanukkah
has passed. If that’s what you celebrate, hope it was good. I hope Eid was
beautiful for those celebrating Eid. I really hope everyone will be safe this
New Year’s. Don’t make it your last day when it can be avoided. Take a cab or
just sleep where you are. Don’t make drunk decisions. As my friend, Brenda, in
4th grade, said when I called her a chicken for not running across
the street against the light, “I’d rather be an alive chicken
than a
dead duck.”
