       Didn't quite make another phost prior to the jump, so I will 
       phost now and so be it.  Hope all y'allz had a fantabulous 
       Gregorian Calendar New Years!
       
       Last night, I had the opportunity again to spend time with the 
       family and the out-laws (not the in-laws...extended family.)  Fun 
       times this round with a mix of drunken party people along with 
       not-drunken folken.  For me, I just had my cup o'joe and was happy 
       being present.  Since it was at the out-laws place, there 
       wasn't much room indoors so the party was brought outside again 
       under a couple E-Z UP canopies.  Good thing the weather 
       cooperated...then again, it usually does and doesn't snow in 
       these parts.  Lots of food and drink, socializing, party games, 
       karaoke, bonfire, dancing, illegal fireworks and drunkeness.  I had 
       set up a projector/screen in one of the canopies for karaoke and 
       the drunks just kept on singing all night long.  By the time I got 
       to bed, it was after 4AM.  Phun tymes, fo'real, fo'realz.
       
       Unsure how 2025 will unfold, but I think I got most of my ducks in 
       a row to keep on keepin' on.  I have a feeling that I will be back 
       in the workforce in the very near future.  It has been a gift to be 
       able to spend the past year+ doing service and volunteer work, 
       giving of myself for fun and for free.  If I could, I'd love to do 
       it as a main vocation, but unfortunately, my circumstances require 
       that I earn legal tender 
       
       Wishing all y'allz in gopherspace a healthy and prosperous New 
       Year!  I should take a nap.
