And here, the last day of this foul year. It's appropriately overcast here in Providence, 32˚F, windchill at 25˚F. It should be overcast the world over, mourning 2016 and the fear of 2017. This year, the ball drops on an entirely different variety of uncertainty ( Read more... )

Thank you for Sirenia Digest #131, which, oddly, I feel compelled to save to open on a special occasion.

And yet, when I tally the year's stories, I am surprised to see that I did better than I did in 2015

I am glad you got words out of this year.

See you in 2017.

-Kind of funny, but not really, I guess, is the fact that when I just logged into your blog and saw the picture of Patti Smith, a split second before I read that she had just turned 70 my heart jumped and I thought that she had been the latest on 2016's hit list.
-Started the evening nicely with an old collection of Bob Dylan concert footage, but then ended up watching a '77 Eagles concert, then had to watch an old David Bowie concert; started to put on an old Jefferson Airplane concert, but decided I was too tired; but then started to dwell on a much more personal loss that 2016 dealt me, as if losing so many heroes wasn't bad enough, and just had to say how glad I was that that homicidal bitch of a year was now over with.
-Sorry about the small rant. I only meant to log on and say "Happy New Year" to you both. So, happy New Year Caitlin and Kathryn. Here's wishing us all a really good one.

I wish you and yours a Happy New Year, may it turn out to be better than the last!
If you can still dream
there is hope.
If there is hope,
there is a chance.
