Thanks, D.

Our house assembled a lazy gathering of friends and family to celebrate the New Year. It was the sort of occasion where you cast the net especially wide with the invitations, set a table, brew some coffee and sit back to see what happens. 

At one point I counted six people sitting in the front room. If I were to combine the time I've shared with those people the number stood at about 96 years. 

Numbers like that, familiar faces like these, our kids clanging around upstairs together made me consider my good fortune. Happy New Year.
