The time between Thanksgiving and Xmas is the quietest time of year in the village. On Xmas day – as soon as the first planes land from the coast the island starts filling up. Except for our usual Wednesday visit from the Pride of America, there will not even be any more ships until 2024.
Today was “brisk” walking day. So, I briskly walked to Ace Hardware for some origami paper. I want to make some of those balls that I am learning to make to give to friends here and to anyone I meet on the trains. Assuming I make it to the train. The 12 hours between the arrival of my flight and departure of my train requires some magical thinking.

Gratitude
It is a wonderful life!
Filled with friends who are family and family who are friends.
Now for the big decision of the day: Steak, poke, or barbecue for dinner?
