Missing November

Wandering into December, still stuffed with Thanksgiving, I am missing November.

It was a mild month, without the bite of Winter, and some good things happened to lessen the bad things that seem to happen with regularity these days.  Iran agreed in principle to limitations on its nuclear program, for example.  Patrick Jayne finally got his Red John, for another.

A promising new TV show, 'Almost Human' premiered.  It's by J.J. Abrams, so the bloom might not be long on the Rose, but it takes a lot to make Karl Urban uninteresting - like keeping an obscuring mask on him all the time (I Dredd the thought). So... so far, so good.  

November was such as engrossing month, I didn't have much to relate in this space.  I still don't really.  I'm no longer angered by the Republicans, since October kicked them hard into November, keeping them sheepish and quiet, barring the odd Obamacare Website rant.  

But December I expect will be a cold, hard month.  November's Comet of The Century fragmented in the Sun to become December's unspectacular wisp and bits. A harbinger if I ever saw one.

The good news is that December is the fastest passing month of the year, taken up as it is with furious shopping and planning for celebrations, and then the Christmas Holiday itself will whisk us right into the New Year before we know it.  So, like walking quickly over hot coals, we will barely touch down long enough for the pain to be intense.  

If during this swift month, something happens that rises the righteous bile in me, I'll post about it here; otherwise, I'll see you all in the New Year.  

Happy Holidays, All ...
