It would appear that all I am doing out here is looking at movies.

There has not been a "life" post lately at all. Just the flicks.

That is not because nothing is happening here.

Normal life mostly. Routine. Nice.

We are slowly ramping up for the holidays.

One more year, we are not sending holiday cards.

It still feels uncomfortable because we are still getting holiday cards.

So, we have bought some holiday stamps and my husband has volunteered to send a short note to some of the people who sent us a card.

I have opted out. Easy because he is doing it so I can remain hard hearted. The comforts of partnership, marriage. The good cop/bad cop paradigm.

We have not gone out of the holiday business entirely. We will have a tree and there are the outdoor lights. John put those up too. I applauded.

I do not know what I would do if I was alone. Probably a few lights on one of the trees.

I am not very good at make believe. The "what ifs".

I will wait to see what I do when and if I am alone.
