Q: An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.

First Postcrossing postcard (from Ukraine)

Ah, I can explain the hiatus. But that goes without saying, I'll be posting several days straight of news to catch up. I just got home from my NYC trip and ended up with a sore shoulder (from hauling a bloated backpack and slinging along a purse pregnant with souvenirs). The boots I wore were new, bruising my calves, brandishing what looks like a pinkish anklet around it. Over the course of four days, I can assure you there was a whole lot of walking involved and I have not sat properly unless it was for the loo or meals. Now I am significantly exhausted from the trip. I had a lot to handle, the three others that went with me took a lot for granted, from maps to even photo ID cards. As much fun as it was, I sure wished the trip went a little better. Heck, I am just glad I made it home safe and sound tonight.

Merry Belated Christmas! Single bell, single bell, single all the way!

No snow!
