    What is your New Years Eve Activity ?

    Thanks for sharing, BT.  One of the great things about this place is that we do care about each other, and that means we do want to read about such things if someone feels the need to share.  Nine years ago my brother was killed in a car crash days before Thanksgiving, and VC's outpouring of support--both emotional and financial--was overwhelming.  My family has never forgotten it.  (In fact, it came up again last night when we had family over for New Year's, and spent a few minutes watching several songs from the recent Tweedy Austin City Limits.)  Mr. Heartbreak is right, of course, in pointing out that tough times are cyclical; here's to hoping that 2015 brings a new, brighter cycle for you.

     

    I admit it was difficult to put that out there, but it was a huge relief after I did. I've always believed that one can never have too many friends, so if I can make a few here that would be nice. Thanks for the kind words and wishes. Here's to a great new year for all of us.

    Pretty low key for me. I'm just glad this year's over, as it's been a particularly brutal one. On the same day in early March, I found my dad unconscious on the floor and my aunt suddenly died (which really messed up my mom). My dad was ultimately diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin's Disease. I lost my job in late-July when my employer discovered (through no fault of my own) that I was planning to move to Chicago once I obtained a professional license in Illinois.  Throughout the summer I commuted three hours each day to and from work so that I could help my family with their house, yard, dog, etc. during my dad's illness. And one of my good friends from college died in November from complications due to advanced melanoma. It's been a dark, lonely, sad year; and I'm just glad to have gotten through it. Sorry to be such a downer. I know nobody wants to read such negativity. But that's the year I've had.

    You are in for a treat.  (Word of advice: Skip Season 2... or watch Season 2 and know that it isn't representative and the ship will be righted.)

     

     

     

    Finished the series tonight & really enjoyed it. I hadn't watched it because, for some reason, I didn't think I'd like it. Glad I took the plunge. I agree that season two was the weakest of the five (What was with the storyline involving Minka Kelly's character finding religion?). Overall though it's a solid series.

    but I still remember the rich, unhurried qualities of the post-coital scene with his mistress, and especially the agonizing confession scene, in which we visibly see the wife's trust--no, her entire life's meaning--evaporate.

     

    Well said.
