It is true that as we get older, the years go faster, probably because they are a smaller percentage of our age.  So welcome to 2025.  It came very fast.

Of course, I am not in the business of predicting, but I hope that this year will be better than I anticipate.  I am basically a worrier.  I worry about global warming.  I worry about our divided country and more.  But I hadn't worried that I would have to move myself and my possessions out of the place I expected to live for what I hoped would be a long time.  And that’s been hard.

I’ve been in my new place almost four weeks now.  It’s smaller, but I was able to cram in all but one bookcase. It is a bit of a challenge to walk between the end of my bed and my dresser. It helps that I am thin.  On the upside, this building has a gym, and I am back on an exercise bicycle for the first time in several years.

Of course, the downside is a loss of a community that I loved. 

Onwards.
