1. Wish you were here.
2. Wish (and hope and pray) 2016 will be a whole lot better than 2015 has been. Not just for me and for those I love, but for the entire world.
3. Wish I was drinking. (Pity I’m not much of a drinker.)
4. Wish good things for all my family and friends and, yes, even for complete strangers.
5. Wish Vikings, Game of Thrones, and Orphan Black were already here!
And I do have a few writer-ish twitter-ish people to thank– You, Ishbel, your wonderful children and grandchildren (Marie has been a most dependable touchstone!), my doggie muse, Jake, Stephane and My French Heaven, Jaye, Penny, Lawrence, Annie, Stephanie, Anita, Tina, Marylin, Steven, Mat, Sandra, Lex, Greta, Roberta, Alicia, Passive Guy, Ray, Tim, the Iowa Hawkeyes, the San Francisco Giants… plus anyone and everyone I may have forgotten to mention.
To 2016 and new beginnings– Let us see if an even number can trump the odd 2015!
2016
All the best to you and your family. And Jake, you be careful of that mountain lion, matey. They have nasty claws.
