A New Year

And I sure hope it turns out to be a good one for everybody.

One thing is for sure and for certain. I go back to work today for the first time in 11 days. I have spent the last 11 days virtually unplugged from the world. I was probably one of the last people to hear about the deaths of Gerald Ford, James Brown and Saddam Hussein.

But in about 6 hours I will have to climb back into the daily grind. I should be in bed right now but the Fiesta Bowl wound me up like a watch. That was probably the best football game I have ever seen. I almost always love it when David nails Goliath and when Goliath gets nailed by a two point conversion in overtime it is especially sweet.

It is hard to believe that it is still one week before the National Championship game. So I’ll get to stay up late watching Louisville and Wake Forest tonight and Notre Dame vs. LSU tomorrow night and stare glassy-eyed into a computer terminal all day today, tomorrow and the next day.

I guess 2007 is starting out to be very similar to 2006.

You may have noticed, I’m kind of out of the loop lately, too… I have a lot going on lately at home & at work. I also had a loss last week (my grandmother). I’ll probably be quiet for a while… please overlook me.

“I guess 2007 is starting out to be very similar to 2006.”

Hopefully UUA President Bill Sinkford will take steps to ensure that 2007 does not look like 2006. . .

In light of UUA President Rev. William G. Sinkford’s Holiday Message of December 13th, 2006 the following email was just sent to UUA President William G. Sinkford aka Rev. Bill Sinkford by Robin Edgar aka The Emerson Avenger. It will be most interesting to see how President Sinkford responds to it or indeed *if* President Sinkford responds to it.

Sympathies for your loss, smijer. I know the feeling & have ‘been there’ so to speak. I’ve posted it before & I’ll post again:

When death has come and taken our loved ones
It leaves our home so lonely and drear
And then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
Farther along we’ll know all about it
Farther along we’ll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We’ll understand it all by and by

…..I sure hope so.
