Christmas Eve Notes

Christmas Eve notes .....

  • Saw an old school Catholic nun wearing coif and veil sitting in a car in an empty section of a parking lot and appearing to be texting on a cell phone (though I suppose it's possible that she was praying) .... and being an ex-altar boy and all, I thought it was ha-ha funny. 
  • For the past year or two, I've been bouncing between five or six books, reading one book semi-consistently and two or three pages per sitting of one of the others every five or six days. Usually in the moments before I close my eyes for the day. Is this any way to have a true reading experience?
  • Been a weird few days weather-wise, with high winds, trees falling over, power outages, followed by heavy rain, flooding, then rumors and day before forecasts and warnings of another windstorm and even more power outages, which never happened and, in its place, the appearance of the afternoon sun (in officially western Oregon winter in December?) which might have been the weirdest and wildest thing of all.
  • 2026 is almost here and I barely noticed autumn passing by ..... because it didn't 'feel' like what my memory tells me that autumn is.
