A beautiful sunny and warm day in Canberra Australia with the temperature
around 28 celsius (?? 75-80 F??). We enjoyed barbecued meats, smoked ham and
lots of salads accompanied by magnificent Australian red wine. We finished
off in the evening with fresh king prawns and highly calorific desserts. The
children swam in the pool and had a wonderful time with their new gifts
(notably scooters). Next step is a few days at the beach to recover from
over-indulgence, and to see in the New Year.

The older I get (57 at my next birthday in February) the more tempting it becomes to buy up every copy of "White Christmas" I can find and make a bonfire of them against the damned COLD. In the northeastern United States, particularly down at the Jersey Shore, it's been both brutally cold and windy. My S.O. and I joke about the noise of the wind reminding us of middle Verdi storm scenes, particularly the one from "Rigoletto," but it's less than funny when you have to do grocery shopping or take the *(U(#U# dog out for a walk at 9 at night to forestall his committing an atrocity in the house. By which I mean him attempting to play the clarinet. You didn't think I meant anything else, did you?...

Still...if you can get yourself past weather, which passes...and shopping horrors, which also pass...there remains something magical about the season. Love, grateful animals (even the dog and the four cats who hate him:-), music to play and listen to, and on those cold nights the ability to look up and see a covering of stars in the darkness. Not bad.

A joyour New Year to you all.

Ken
