Made it

I made it through Christmas.  It's always a little in doubt, you know.  Get-togethers with family can be unpredictable.  And while there were some stressful moments, I survived without losing my temper or my sanity.

My health has improved these last few months, too.  I've been drinking more bottled water, and I think that's doing the trick.  Maybe 2025 will be a good year for me.  I think the last good year I had was 2019.

On the financial market front, I've been expecting a correction/crash for a long time now.  It hasn't happened.  My best guess is that the AI boom dragged us all along for the bull-market ride just a little longer than would have happened otherwise.  I don't know what to expect next year.  When the usual indicators stop working, and it seems they have, what can anyone foretell?

It's been a colder December than normal, and I'm already dealing with chapped hands and face.  Luckily, some warmer temps and some rain are on the way this weekend.  I simply can't deal with dry winter air the way I could in my younger days.  My DNA is optimized for the wetter winters of northwestern Europe, not the dry ones of southeastern America.

Anyway, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas that was free of disasters and other assorted drama.
