Bob is home and that feels so good. We hiked at McKinny Falls last night before the cold front hit and heard coyotes yipping loudly - quite a number of them, close to the trail - impressive! Tonight we went with Ruth and Chris to the synagoues first night Hanukah party in a lovely country home. Good food, song, joy. I feel tired right now - not inspired to write. Happy though, watching menorah flames burn down. Tomorrow is my birthday 58 - I feel fortunate to be so surrounded by love.
