minus 2 here. I am in hibernation. A friend phoned this morning to invite us out for "coffee" but R phoned at 11 last night to re-inform me. He stayed over at the mill --- and is not back, nor has phoned, since. I have no inclination to go to the South Shore - cross a bloomin' bridge - today, in this cold, alone, to visit someone who does not listen. Never mind the alternative is to be here alone in a cold house - on FB. No good book to read.

Had an hour long skype from 2nd son and got to see the gorgeous grandsons for the first time in over a year. 16 and almost 13! Shocking to see my son looking older (50). The years have flown by.

Son was giving me computer advice and even in a way I could understand! R considering a flat TV and I want to be able to connect computer. Means another LONG trip to the Apple store. Not this week. Weather is supposed to warm on the weekend - almost up to freezing on Sunday.

A chat with a friend in PA elicited: my bro has driven a bus load to NYC so he is not home. My other son was not home.   Cheap long distance has not kicked in yet so not many people I can phone. Good comments on FB and a very interesting article on Environmental Health News that triggered an email to a person who spent most of his life doing significant (to me) work to improve chances of kids growing up non-aggressive. It hit me because he started in montreal when I was here and I feel as though that was a missed boat. I can only say, I have done what I could.

Something to think about - is there more I can still do.

Hope we all have the best possible new year.
