Into the last month of the year.

It feels like last year's New Year's Eve was but yesterday.

All I have to show for it are one playwriting workshop, nine dramaturged plays, five oil portraits, one novel, and a lot of antiques shopped for.

It was two of my grandchildren's year. Angelique graduated from university and Aubrey from K-12. Then Angelique enrolled at law school and Aubrey enrolled at university.

This is a photo I took at 12:00 MN December 31, 2016.
