The lost mid-week . . .

This week is a no-mans-land. The days between Christmas and January first seem less important, less weighty, than other weekdays. The emphasis on the bookend holidays seems to make the days between them a slippery slope down which we slide toward the new year.

My inclination is to write the coming year on this year's last few checks. I have to stop myself from doing that this week. It seems that time is englobing us like an amoeba ingesting a mote of food.

A soft pop, some fireworks, and there we are: eligible for another birthday . . .

Oh. I always thought that soft pop was in my head - as in another ganglion going bad. What a relief, it's just the sound of the New Year arriving!

I don't hear my ganglia deteriorating. They do it so quietly that I have to do something stupid to miss them
