Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: We know the world didn't end, because, check it out!  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.

Go away, 2016.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I got a card from Suzi! Yay!

I'm glad my cards are making it out to folks. If you didn't get one and want to be added to my list for next year, send me a e-mail at my profile addy. I love sending some cheer out to my Buffista family. And I really do mean family.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My mailings have only been to gift exchange participants and all those are not out yet. Who knows if I will manage more than that.

I love my from-Suzi card!

My 2016: I put moving into high gear, finding and finalizing a place, then abusing the patience and generosity of my family with a scorched earth clearing of my house. Aside from what's left in the old garage that I can write off with a sigh if I have to, everything I own is in my apartment. It's time to formulate my new life.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

So proud of you, Connie. I know it's been really hard and overwhelming. It is great to see you really taking positive steps to shape this new phase.

Brava, Connie! That's a lot to deal with.

I also got a lovely card from Suzi, and it inspired me to write a bunch of holiday cards tonight. It has been several years since I sent any, and I worry that a lot of my addresses will be bad. Ah, well...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay you guys, yay!

A general suggestion to post here if you're going to be out of town over the next few weeks, and are participating in the gift exchange whose abbreviation I cannot remember. I mean, feel free to post your travel plans regardless, I'm not the boss of you!
