    … can’t really add anything to the greetings other than to echo my own wishes for a joyous Christmas to all of you. Today will be a very quiet one for me and little planned other than breathing, enjoying the day, grussing_20141225some phone calls to friends and family and a short visit with others. I like quiet days as I really get so few of them, but they do re-energize me and that is a good thing.

    Tuesday evening I was at a friend’s party in Phoenix and got to be the test Santa as Ramona was adjusting her settings to take the photos of the kids with Santa and here it is. For those who are curious I was sipping on vintage 2014 Coke Zero … it was a very fine year for Coke Zero and what a beautiful glass to serve it in … the servers did not like my idea of the cold can. Truly a fun time and the kids all loved it.

    A day with visits from and to friends … a stop to visit with “Not Just Any John” Soderberg and I finally ordered a bronze I have been admiring for months and months … “Athena” by John’s daughter Heather … ‘twill be a couple of months before it is cast and the patina put on and I’m looking forward to displaying it. My Christmas present to  myself as it has been quite some time since I have invested (that word makes it okay) in art. Truth is I just love the sculpture and a very special patina is going on it. After that it was up to the airport for a short flight … climb to 12,000’, cut the engine and a long slide ride back … it was cold with no sun and no engine … fun though! Our traditional spaghetti dinner and a quiet evening installing the Amazon Fire unit I got for Christmas … and a few computer changes too.

    I’ll be getting a Christmas letter out with a composite tomorrow … life has interfered with plans once again.

    Thank you all for being part of my life and enjoying my writing and photography … next year will be even better

    With deep appreciation and gratitude … let’s keep sharing our joy.

    Smiles

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
