DISPATCHES FROM THE GHOST MOOSE

I haven't posted for 3 weeks...and not because I have been busy.  I have been lazy.  I will have to change that.  In 2020, I resolve to be more active...to walk each night...to watch less tv. as 2019 draws to an end, I look back at the year...it was a good year.  Good to spend time in Florida with my mom and family there.  The weather was nice.  And it has been nice to be back in Illinois.  I still need to find a job, as my contract gig will end soon.  And I will.
