Help, I’m channeling too damn many Betsys! And now every one of them wants to write in my blog! (About time too–my blog has been neglected for a week.)
First of all, if you want the real spirit of this crazy, loving, season of fantasies about what a good job we’ll do for those we love *this* time, nobody ever says it better than Halley on most days, but she really “gets it” with her No More Santa.
In a sadder side of the year’s end, two of my favorite bloggers seem to be getting ready to fold up their URLs and fade away. Elaine and Niek, I wish you’d change your minds.
Elaine of Kalilily hasn’t blogged since December 1, when she quoted a hairdresser teaching women in Afghanistan:
If i was a reading teacher i would teach them to read. but i am a hairdresser so i teach them hair.
Meanwhile, Niek of Shutterclog has some other projects he plans to work on:
Like the invention of the wheel. Thank goodness I’m almost full circle with that one!
For a final word on both sides of this complex season–here is Steve Himmer (OnePotMeal) with the ultimate super best top card of the season.
Ho ho ho and warm wishes to all of us!

Well, I might be down, but I’m not out yet. I’m on my son’s server, and it’s been out of commission all this while. So I’ve taken the clue from Fate and focused on life beyond blogging. Meanwhile, the server’s back but I can’t seem to post yet. I’m not even sure I will when I can. Buy maybe I will. Probably. Who knows. Happy New Year.

Elaine, I’m so glad to see your typing in any case! Have a merry whatever, and a very happy whatever else you choose–hugs to that cute grand-baby too.

Thanks to both of you for the update. Glad to hear you’re doing well, Elaine; if you could e-mail me at such time as you’re back to regular blogging, I’ll put you on my blogroll again!
