I just noticed that I havent made an entry in two years. My life is still drifting along and I don't feel that I have made any progress towards dealing with my future. Oh well.

I just finished skimming through a book by Anita Brookner, a british author that I admire. She has a lyrical style and her tales remind me of some british movies that I had seen in the sixties. They were very introspective , dealing with peoples' feelings and relationships or lack of relationships. I could empathize with some of the characters actions since I have some of the same failings myself. Now that I am in what perhaps could be the final decade of my life I can look back and ask myself, did I do the the best that I could possibly do? Did I meet the expectations of those around me? I think that I would have to answer no , I did not. All that I did, in my opinion, was just hang and fantasize about what could have been.

This is my younger brother Larry Charles who died yesterday at the age of 58. He had a major stroke from which he never recovered. He had , in my opinion, a sad life because he had the potential to be successful in life but he never had the nurturing, love and encouragement that a person needs to have a happy life. So sad.

This is a photo that I manipulated in a free program that is part of my email program. I really like the effect.

I just had to try the roasted chestnuts since I've heard the Xmas songs featuring chestnuts roasting on an open fire. They are not crunchy like a walnut but mealy in texture and slightly sweet in taste. I paid $3.00 for a small bag of at least a dozen. They sell them on the street corners of NYC.

Well, it looks as though we got a break from the cold weather for which I am thankful because when it's cold and miserable outside I just want to snuggle under the covers and not do anything.I always say at the beginning of winter that I wish I could hibernate till spring.
I used to look forward to the first snow of the winter when I was a kid but once I was a grown-up and driving I could definitely do without snow. I hate wearing winter boots and heavy coats.

I still feel a bit under the weather from my trip. New York is an expensive city so the easiest and cheapest way for most people to make a trip is to do the one day option which means riding all night on the bus coming and going. I can never sleep on the bus so I had a major sleep deficit which has contributed to my feeling of illness.
I remember trips that I took in the past to NYC which were affordable. I could window shop, see sights, take in Broadway shows-so much fun. I'm glad that I made the effort when I did because it's not as doable now. Bummer.

This is one of the many store windows that I saw in NYC . I am starting to feel better now which is good because I go in to work tonight. I wish that I could have taken the photos that I wanted but I was so exhausted that I didn't have the strength to do any more than what I did do. I'll try to go back again another year but this time I would like to stay a few days so that I wouldn't feel so rushed an trying to cram so many things into a short span of time.
