Winding down the year...

[mdlbear]

Got the last of the charity checks written this morning -- all 25 of them. I took this as an excuse to walk to the nearest post office, about 20 minutes away. I rarely go there; because of the way the streets are laid out, the one twice as far away is a little faster to drive to. And a little more convenient if I want to get on the freeway heading toward work afterwards.

For someone who loves to walk and has lived 30 years in the same house, I don't seem to have done much walking in the neighborhood. Of course, it's not a very pretty place to walk, either, and it isn't always safe. But still...

I haven't gotten everything much done that I wanted to, either. It's an open question whether I'll even have an album preorder form up by midnight. Probably not, though a little progress is being made. Hey, I got the directory up, at least!

For many of my friends, 2006 has been a horrible year; for others it's been wonderful. For all of us, here's hoping that 2007 is better.
