You know those letters, Listen to all the impressive things our family did this year, etc. , sometimes with photocopied photos (now home colored printered images and luddite refusal to do good electronic layout), or with the photo-holiday greeting cards (which I can't dis because that's how I got into my annual valentines).
I know mom still gets them. In high school mom would cringe about all her friends' grandchildren. Five kids and not one of us had spawned yet. Now I'm the oddball. Ok, I was always an oddball, even if a family so full of oddballs we named our (coffee-colored) boat Chock Full O' Nuts.
I remember iHotel and istemi joking about possibly using photos of community kids that could plausibly be theirs, and sending out delightful works of fiction. That would still rock, even if they are actually married now.
Today's assignment is to (1) write such a letter about my year's simply abundant safari of the spirit and (2) write next year's letter, really a more creative way of discerning some new year's resolutions. However, both letters are to be written solely for/to me. You all shall be spared. This time.
