A particularly somber Christmas, folks, without my brother, the vital piece of the equation there (except in spirit), but I enjoyed a lot of laughs too.  Laughter is SOOO important!

Bittersweet \"happy-sad\" Christmas here. The sweet part being all of my surviving family getting together, my two sisters and their SOs (and my younger sister\'s son, now 10 months old, who is a really nice little guy). We went to Bob\'s Pizza in Deerfield, ate pizza and subs and drank beer, exchanged a lot of laughs. The bitter part was feeling the absence of my brother Mark, who passed away January 31, \'07, and who, last Christmas, was doubled over in agonizing pain next to the Christmas tree, thanks to the 18\" tumor 75% blocked in his colon. But, overall, I successfully put on a happy face and mostly laughed! I\'ll upload some pictures here...

In my own love life, not much going on. I\'m trying to put on a face of good cheer and be the sweet, physical, intelligent stud I know is buried down there somewhere, and pass out my phone # to anyone who I like who shows any interest. No takers yet! Ah, well...gotta get MYSELF right. I don\'t really fit in with the religious zealots, yet I don\'t really fit in with the slut-whores either, so I find myself sitting on the fence, unsure of where to turn, a moderate in a sea of extremists...

Let U Be U and may the others lay where they fall. I applaud your stand. I hope the one you find has her own two feet under her as well.
