It’s a day early, but I’m waiting for a bagel to toast and I’m thinking of stuff and it dawns on my I’m demonstrating my point. These are random thoughts, and there are lots of footnotes.
- It has dawned on me that Christmas in this culture is not a religious holiday, I’m not sure why this took so long 1. Like, it’s not even split between religious folks and non-religious folks. For the bulk of this culture it’s just not a religious celebration.
- As of this post my YouTube Channel has made $3.14 2.

- The SAD is hitting early this year, not a great thing as my psyche is still trying to process the stress of the pandemic and family health issues over the last two years.
- The Eagles. Wow. As a lifetime Philly sports fan this feels weird.
- I’m running my 5e table through the one shot adventure I created for EZd6. One player couldn’t make the first session 3 but five minutes in to the second session he asked, “Wait, are we in another holiday special? 4“
- When I receive invitations to do something on zoom I’m filled with dread 5.
- I can’t so small things very well any more, but big stuff I can seem to do just fine. I feel this is probably typical post-trauma behavior.
- I’m rather thankful for my friends. They make a huge difference in my life.

- It also has dawned on me, given the way some Churches are freaking out about Christmas being on a Sunday, that a lot of Churches may not practice Christianity. ↩
- Please like, subscribe, watch, and comment! I think I may be under contract to communicate this now. ↩
- Of a one shot, this group enjoys to taking their time. ↩
- Yes, they are. ↩
- I feel my blood pressure rise just thinking about zoom. ↩
Painfully Hopeful
