time spent wisely.

i just finished a plate of bacon and eggs and figure i couldn't have had a better meal to start this new year. a meal i hardly ever have any more. even out. i do love bacon - of course a gateway meat to any vegetarian who may be on the verge of converting - and will love more bacon as the year moves along but, i hardly ever have bacon and eggs for breakfast anymore. wierd. 'cause i love that stuff.
last night megan and i headed out to delta to spend some time with fawn and dave at their new place. while i don't give much credence to new year's eve or new years day, i wanted to be out at fawn's for her first skip from one year to the other - even though, truthfully, i was home before midnight...i have a long standing tradition of being home before midnight unless i have been working nye.
it was great to be out there and to meet her neighbours who had come over with their kids in tow. fawn kept saying how surprised how long i stayed - as i'm not known as a guy who hang around too long....i sat with the kids and watched some twilight, ate some cheese and meat, had a beer - hell, it was a big night out....thanks fawn. thanks dave. (and to the woman, who's name i have forgotten, i'm coming over for super bowl if you have seven layer dip...)
as a side note...fawn, earlier in the day yesterday, was asking me what was up and that there had had been no blog updates and if everything was ok..sure. all good. but. and i have mentioned this before and i will readers digest it now for those who may have missed it before...i find this time of year tough. very. while i have given up on presents and gift giving in general, i do feel the season and feel tension surrounding it and certain family issues that rear their heads this time of year....it's hard. i miss certain people and wish they were around. i find it a season of introspection. it makes me think more than i do already, about life, love, things i need to do, things i haven't done, maybe things i need to say, things i'll leave unsaid as it's better, sometimes, to leave some things alone and to let sleeping dogs lie. my brain works overtime during these times. it's these times where i'm happy for work - like helping at the topanga or playing mr. fix-it at someone's place. idle hands are not my pal during the holidays.
anyhow...all good.
it's raining. shocker. i have a few things to glue gun down today and then i may go see a movie later...or watch one i have here...
have a great new day in a new year.
i miss you.
