This is the end, beautiful friend the end

The F word's here and the f word's back.

This is my last blog.

I want to thank you for walking with me.

I've enjoyed your company.

I've tried to make you laugh.

Tried to make you think.

Provoked and maybe annoyed you.

But we can agree to disagree without falling out.

I am withdrawing from this and other arenas.

Life is worth living, but I am weary of failing.

Love.

This is the year that...

We finally get around to making ice cream, visit the American Folk Park and make tie-dye t-shirts.

Naturally, none of these things are remotely likely to happen, but it's good to have plans.

Last year I said I'd dig the garden.

Man I really dig that garden.

It's so pretty.

And yet...

What really matters, is not what you do but how you do it.

How you treat people.

How you listen to them.

How you speak to them.

How you love them.

Status Update

Tomorrow I will have been 21 years married. Sheesh, were does the time go?

It seems like 5 minutes ago that I stood in a church and said my vows. I thought I was pretty calm and yet history decrees I stood still, looking ahead and was too focused to look at my wife.

Much has happened since. Two wonderful girls are here now to remind us of our commitment to each other.

Houses, jobs, religions have come and gone, but our love remains constant.

For better or worse, in sickness and in health. For poorer, or poorer still.

It's the only thing that matters.
