2017 was a year in transition for us, selling our house, deciding where to live next, and happily this uncertain time officially ends today, and we can move on with out lives, happily settling into this apartment in Milwaukie. I love it here.
On my last birthday I gave a reading att the retirement community. I planned to tape it but screwed up. However, one camera had good audio, so I can't do a video of it but I can do an audio with illustrations, and I've been working on that, might finish today. Just something to do.
Plan to stay home, watch the celebrating on the tube. In my drinking days, this and St Paddy's Day were hated because my drinking holes filled with amateurs, who were noisy and sloppy, compared to the witty intellectual regulars. I picked bars filled with lost artists. In Portland in the 1980s, not hard to find.
The only thing I miss about New Year's is the Rose Parade in Pasadena, not to see it, but just the atmosphere of it and the usual great weather. Seeing the brown San Gabriels on TV makes me homesick.
