I hope that everyone has a warm, happy, and wonderful Christmas. If you live in the Northeast like me, we actually have a White Christmas. Most unusual according to the statistics. I’m very typical of my standard behavior again this year… a bit nostalgic and melan­choly missing my folks and my brother. I have the blessing of my wife Sue’s compan­ionship and my stepdaughters who are always “enter­taining”.

Had a couple unexpected bumps in the road recently and I’m glad that I’m here. I don’t take it for granted. I feel a need for a few days of quiet that I’m unlikely to see — but I think perhaps that isn’t a physical quiet but instead a quiet that you carry with you inside. The animals feel a peace now. Maybe it’s the snow. Things are a bit more muffled than usual. That is okay. I’ve listened to the Christmas Carols on the radio and I’m in the mood. I’ve been drawing and designing a whole lot of stuff lately and right now I’m working on a series of portraits. I’ll be done with them soon. I really don’t want to run out of projects. But if I did — I’d update this blog with lots of new things.

I hope that everyone here in Bucks County takes a piece of their Christmas break to go to the Visitors Center to see Daniel Troy’s exhibit of Railroad Photography entitled “ON TRACK”. It runs until January 9, 2010. Go to the Visitor’s Center website for additional info and direc­tions and also see lots of Dan Troy’s work at his website. It’s a good show.
