Peace in 2006
Well friends, I haven't updated in a while and figured I should for a change. Tomorrow morning I'll be flying up to Oakland to meet up with Michael and spend the New Year (and the remainder of our winter break)with him. This will be my first time flying solo, so to speak, but I am hoping I'll do all right and that it won't be raining too hard when we land. Northern California has just been continually hammered all this month.
I don't know what else there is to say. Saw Memoirs of a Geisha with my mom tonight and it's a damn good movie. It did the book some justice, but it pales in comparison regardless. Other than that, not much has happened in the way of excitement. My friend Anja did come up for a few days and that was lovely. She's driving now, so we no longer have to meet halfway and all that jazz.
Well, I hope that the New Year brings much in the way of new possibilities and happiness to all of you. Hopefully, our men and women over in Iraq will be back home again, finally. We can only hope, at this point. And I haven't a clue what this new year will bring, but I pray it brings something that reflects the good rather than the bad in humanity. Then again, you can't look to governments and nations as the examples of human behavior, because there are good people everywhere in the world, if not in seemingly short supply. I remember that last year around this time I was in the midst of Anne Frank, and it still amazes me that out of a time of such darkness there emerged a beacon of hope. "I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are really good at heart."
Didn't mean to go off on a tangent, but it happens with me. I hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend.
