Dec 2024

My youngest daughter is visiting with her husband from California. They're both pretty chill. My mom died in the beginning of December several years ago, so Im not a big fan of the holidays in general. But I'm still sober, so my family doesn't have to put up with my shennagins any more. It's been pretty nice so far.

That said, I really hate New Years Eve. The gunfire here in Detroit is out of control, and gets worse every year.
