Somewhere to play.

THE BETTER HALF.

Here we are, mid December '11, the year is almost done, and another half a month and Christmas will be behind us. The new year looms ahead.

Half of the world will celebrate X-mas, the other half will supply the presents, the other half will ignore it all, and the other half could use all the goodwill and cheer – even half of it – would be fine.

There are so many halves, so many homes was torn in half this year due to something or other.

So many halves, so many nothings. Then we do not; or should not forget, there are many that went before this year. Seems to me, we have a world with many halves.

Well – half a glass full is still better than half a glass empty.

The eternal optimists.

We have more empty chairs at the table - 2011 - took its share. We still have the memories ... not quite the same, still - that is all we have.
