Getting ahead of ourselves

 








Bon jour!


It is hard to believe it is already 2026!

How the year has flown by.

I write you barefoot from our apartment in the South of France. I wander into the kitchen like Pablo Picasso to get a bit of cheese and a glass of cognac before I sit down to conduct the art of my later years.

This is that art!

If it does not look much like art, well, yes, you are not alone. But let me tell you: It has never been easier to find people who feel exactly the same way about the work of Picasso.

Not that I'm really like Pablo Picasso. 

I even wrote a song about it. It included the lyric:

"I'm not Pablo Picasso".

But there's not much profit running through all the other lyrics as the key point has been made clear enough.

You are probably wondering if I'm going to do one of those boring year in review essays where I tell you the stocks that went crazy in 2025, the Superbowl and Champions' League winners, and which cities were wiped out in nuclear holocausts in this year past, but I am not.

I say we look forward to better and brighter things. And I think 2026 is going to be delightful. Or, as we say here in France, delicieux.

Oh, what's that?

It's not 2026?

It's 2027?



My god how the time flies.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
