Blue Christmas...

It is with a heavy heart that I sit before my keyboard and write this. My family is experiencing an indefinite, very difficult period presently. I will not discuss my personal problems here. Suffice it to say they are significant. They have drawn my attention and have demanded my responsibility.

And of course this Republic has never been crumbling faster...

Nationally, I am beyond words at this point. I am not optimistic for things getting better. If they do, I only see it after catastrophe has reared its ugly head, and surely like never before in our history. Only then... maybe... will there perhaps be enough of an impact on the American mind to realize what we have callously thrown away and try to rebuild some semblance of it.

Until that catalyst, if it ever occurs, I have chosen to hold my family close and prepare for the worst. What I do or am motivated to do at this blog is uncertain. I am incredulous at how little I feel there really is remaining to discuss constructively.

I will continue to always hold dear those amazing friends I have made here. I will read you when I have the time and inclination, whether I comment or choose not to. You are amazing, staunch patriots. You know who you are... you could not have any higher regard or respect from me. I want each of you to know this.

Sadly, while we all are still allowed to say it, I bid you each as much of a Merry Christmas as you can realize. God bless each of you.
