Gosh. This burn out has lasted longer than I thought it would, but it happens to the best of us, of course, and you just have to let it run its course. I am terribly behind getting to several notifications as well as reading new posts. Maybe once the new year rolls in I'll be ready to get back into action. Of course, it's not like I haven't been busy. I've been doing other things and occupying my time that way. I hear our good friend Valerie will be back full time tomorrow and I'd like to give her a little shout out and welcome her back. I'll see y'all on the other side and meanwhile, I wish you all a very safe and Happy New Year. Onward and upward and see you in 2025.

You too. Once I get back into the grind here I am going to have a CRAPTON of music to listen to.

Our dynamic here is always...strange...but also, strangely good. We disagree on pretty much everything, but we remain friends. How that works I will never know, but also would not change it. Happy New Year to you, you insane, cantankerous constant thorn in my side.

@porwest Same to you my friend. I am always willing to discuss things with people who disagree with me. That isn't a prerequisite for being a friend. I respect that others have differing opinions on things.

It's here! It's here, Happy New Year. I have not been doing as much here over break. I blame the illness on getting me off balance. I hope you are safe and happy this year.

Way too hectic if you ask me. But at least they come around at the same time every year, so you can mentally prepare yourself for what's to come. Happy New Year to you as well.

Fingers crossed. Of course, it usually turns out when we get to the end of a new year, we're never sad to see it go. lol
