i'm sorry folks

I just don't have it in me right now.  I want to write but I am lacking the motivation to find the time.  And that's easy to do with the long list of to-do's before the holidays.

I'm not in the holiday spirit.  I don't want to do much of anything.  I certainly don't want to write a bunch of down-in-the-dumps depressing garbage.

So for now, I'm taking a break.  I hope you all will come back when I surface.
