December 2006 Portal Update

Weakest month in terms of writing

A new serial started on PrairieComber. Other than that, all other posts have been here. The month began with the a pretty large case of denial and the family was sick most of the time. Here and there, some bright glimmers of family and gratefulness peaked through.

And that was December 2006.

Year End Notes
As I always do at year end, any draft or fragment is changed into a Semithought and posted. Semithoughts are completely unrefined, that’s all I’ll say about that.

Otherwise, it’s been a prolific year writing about various things. As is my perchant, however, none are finished. Lenga is very-well defined whereas a year ago it was a string of ideas. I wrote the rules of a few games and my friend mrtool created boards and pieces for one of them. (I need to bring them with me Friday, as well as dice to play the dice version.) I began a serial and enabled my wife to post pictures of the family and her poetry.

All in all a good year.

The Future
I added a new category about Unity called Bring Us Back. I feel hopeful and inspired for 2007. Most of this is believing that some good things can happen for churches to come together and do something for God. What has sparked this? A conversation with a fellow dreamer with the connections to make something actually happen. More on this later.

Otherwise, I will probably remove the Advocate site. There was a lot to post, but it is all in handwritten notes, or forgotten sources for information. I will work more on the Study Hall site and finally finish Lenga. As far as the Computer Biz goes, I hope something will happen this spring. As of right now, I want to use a Slackware derivative, but compiling it with dbus, hal, and other things to enable thumbdrives is proving to be difficult.

Thanks to my friends for reading. It was a great year fraught with sadness, difficulty, despair. It was a tough year filled with joy, celebration, grace, and peace. Thanks again.
