Always did love this pic, for some strange reason - poetic justice, mayhap? {insert sinister chuckling}.
Seriously though, I'd like to wish All & Sundry a very Happy Turkey Day - save for you lot across the pond who don't observe the holiday as us Yanks do. You're still included, however, 'cos one of the many things I'm Thankful for every year is the diverse lot of friends and acquaintances I've acquired via this InterWideWeb-thingamabob. Clear and fair enough?
On a personal level, 2016 has seen this Humble Drummer happily frolicking under the cataract {$25 word for "waterfall"} of Grace Our Good Lord has seen fit to continually douse me with. Thanks to said continual dousing, I've become an "embedded sharecropper" on my brother's homestead; my j-o-b is likewise steady and prospering; and my rather shell-shocked psych has taken some real hefty strides in the healing department. Oh, there has been the usual crap-ton of FUBAR moments, but I'm once again fully able to shrug the worst of them off, whilst not missing one single step forward.
Better still, my current circumstances are such that I might - emphasize "might" - have some fabulous news to break to y'all here some time in 2017. For now, let's just say that the preliminaries are essentially finished, and that the foundation has been poured - all it needs is a measure of time to cure properly, before I go Full Tilt Boogie. I'll go much more in-depth presently as time and circumstances allow. And in a truly radical 180 degree shift in my thinking, I absolutely refuse to rush the process in any way. It might have taken me nearly half a century to reach such a level of wisdom, but by golly I did get here in the end! Think "arthritic snail," or "three-legged tortoise," or "three-legged tortoise carrying an arthritic snail," kapish?
And to round things off properly, the real reason why I chose to lead off this installment with the particular illustration-zinger above is a very simple one.
It's how The Donald-Elect is going to feed the homeless next Thanksgiving, dig?
Keep the Baby, Faith - Drummer out.
More anon.
