And in the end, as she
emaciated and sparkle gone,
lay dying, too slowly for
her pain too quickly for his,
(from new novel)

I was blessed with the ability to hear so I can enjoy the song of birds and the poetry of brooks.

In case you missed it, the change of years has not greatly changed the world, only the date.

Edwina, 22-yr-old tea drinking mallard, thought to be one of the oldest recorded living ducks, has died. Rejected by family joined humans.

Ready, set, go - the year has begun. Shoot for the stars and enjoy the challenge.

The characters of Widow's Walk wish you a joyous New Year. http://ping.fm/gAUBh

If you can read this, at least the hangover is gone. Happy New Year and many more.
