COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

BIR @ 2.80

No Wemberley in February after a poor Carabao performance last eve.  And down fall the stocks further today, as we careen toward a US shutdown and Brexit.  Lavena has picked this day to put the cow ledge up for sale again at the familiar price, as news from the automated RPL account arrives rejecting your application at the first hurdle.  A bit of a surprise, that, but no matter.  The time to dip into (jump off?) the birchcliff arrived inevitably at hopefully its lowest point.

Last minute christmas cheer arrives in the form of some caroling and a reading on Oxford street to come, a jello-buried Minion, and some scrambling regarding the implementation of cap/trade on the petroleum side.  There is always something.  Rolling into the new year, wondering about the Raquelette (11+ years on) and MOBA memories, and what is to come these next weeks...

Recreating the celebrations of old even as you age.  Strange, unsettled days.  The Canticle and Station Eleven proved excellent recently, need to pick up more along those lines.  And write yourself.  The winding roads of other options spiraling perhaps toward the one true, inescapable future...
