70 degrees yesterday! Played golf and shot one over par (73)! Yes, this is December. Rain front moving through as I write.

Well, after my ex-wife was in my house twice on Sunday, accompanying our daughter and her two children, I was "ill" all evening and had a horrible nights sleep. I just couldn't shake my "upsetedness" (new word). She ruined my time with my grand-kids. They were all out buying a christmas tree from a tree farm. Why my ex had to go with them is the question. Lonely and needy, I suppose.

So I finally got the nerve to email Emily expressing my feelings and concerns. It was cathartic in a sense. 24 hours later and no response. Hope I didn't cross the line, but enough is enough and something has to give.

If I hear "fiscal cliff" one more time (inevitable), I think I'll scream. Toss in the adjective "so-called".

I see that an Indiana judge ruled against an atheist group requesting marriage "solemnizations" be performed by someone secular rather than clergy or a government official.
Reason? Tradition. It's not "morally correct". Can you believe it? Stone age mentality.

I have more "bits and pieces", but I'll close. Peace.
