Sigh. I'm not looking for a great holiday season this year. Too many people are gone.

So many memories of around the tree with so may packages for me, my sisters, my father, my mother... All around the tree in the living room and now even that living room is gone.

Today I feel lucky that I still have one Sister on this side of the grass.

Everyone else is gone. Some in terrible ways.

But I do hope that most haven't lived long enough to be in a place like this. And for you guys and everyfuckinbody else I wish you the best for the season. Take the memories of these days and imprint them deep in your psyche to have and hold you dear in later years.

But don't let this shit get you down. The past is only the past while the future is everything. Please hold the ones you love and hug your asses off with everything.

A bit of light fun on Disney+ with Percy Jackson and the Olympians

They just dropped the first two of eight installments which I enjoyed.

Damned onions...
