I’ve always had a bit of a problem with this time of year. Weird as it may sound, New Year’s eve can be a real ‘downer’ for me. I always seem to get really melancholy. Both my wife and I hate crowds and the prospect of going into the city to watch six million dollars of public money, so badly needed elsewhere, go pointlessly up in smoke over Sydney Harbour did not have much appeal. Instead, we stayed at home and watched the film “Ulee’s Gold” which, in its quiet and understated way, makes a powerful and positive statement about the human condition. Later, after the rest of this decidedly 'non-party animal' family had decided to go to bed, I saw the New Year in watching “PWWAM”. I wanted to do something that put me in a positive frame of mind when the clock struck twelve. Joni exposes many a flaw in human nature but I always find an optimism in her music that sustains hope for the future. When midnight came I went out onto the verandah and stood in the dark listening to the few strains of celebration that came my way. Alone, with the dark shapes of the trees for company (even the dog had gone to sleep), I felt good. Happy New Year to you all!

Probably my favorite song, musically speaking, on Hejira. Love those changing rhythms. Jimdle sports: On the Bowl scene, congrats you JMDL fans of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Michigan State. Great games to watch! And yesterday, congrats to you, too, Lori, the displaced Duck. ;-) Smiles Penny :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Grace dies when it becomes us verses them......Philip Yancey ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2000 #2 ******************************* Don't forget about these ongoing projects: Glossary project: Send a blank message to for all the details.
