Plans: ???
12th night
Thus ends the season of Yule as we prepare for the upcoming year. It's a time to remember from whence you came as well as a time to make plans for the near future. Take oaths, make promises, hold inventory so you know your present position in relation to where you want to be. Remember, "Luck often enough will save a man (or woman) if his (or her) courage holds” (The 13th Warrior).
Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high. You’re the measurer and teller of time. As you fly silently on your way reflect into our souls the glory of the High Ones that we might aspire to the realms of the gods. Bathe our world in soft brightness, and whisper to our souls of joyous realms beyond our knowing. Mano let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!

A second I know, which the son of men
must sing, who would heal the sick.
Interpretation: Over this Yuletide season, there indeed has been some EXCELLENT partnerships (Ehwaz) formed that are permanent (Ur).
Outcome: SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Family time with the newly-fallen snow. Both Socks and Toby had a blast. Essie didn’t know what to think.
Sausage gravy and biscuits with scrambled eggs: YUM!
Toby ran like the wind on his extended walk. His energy was boundless! I wasn’t planning on the extended part of the walk it just happened. I wasn’t wearing proper footwear for snow, but I nonetheless persevered. You should have seen Toby in Meeka Park. He ran circles just like Meeka used to do.
LOTS of pictures shared on Facebook.
WONDERFUL Facebook conversation with a 2nd cousin. During the last family reunion in Hesston her brother and I had a rousing game of horseshoes. We talked about doing doubles but I kidded her about not wanting her on my side…which I really did. We friended each other today on Facebook and made a date (so to speak) for horseshoes back at Hesston. That’ll be fun.

It’s been a good lazy morning, but now I have to get this home back in order.
Or not…(see below)…afternoon game…

Wichita Wings 6:12 Milwaukee Wave
*Hel, Roy Turner, original coach of the Wichita Wings back in the 80s, made a comment on Facebook about how well the Wings played this afternoon even though they lost. He said if they keep playing like that they have good promise
Okay, lazy now.
The TRA rep finally called from Topeka and my TRA benefits will kick-in Jan 5th. Now to see what happens with unemployment if this stupid Congress throws us over the proverbial Fiscal Cliff. This would make all forms of unemployment uncertain.
Napped
Woke up to a WONDERFUL phone call from D_ and that Oklahoma bunch that I love so dearly!
I rang in the new year with some firecrackers, a couple of beers, a couple of shots of honey-whiskey and the 13th WARRIOR FOR THE 106th TIME!
I’m SO counting on 2013 to be the BEST year EVER! According to the Runes, it’s so. Everything is under control (Ehwaz) and I’m healed (Ur)!
