My wife and I had a nice Christmas, enjoying time with both of our families. Like every year, we do X-mas eve at my parent’s home with my 1 brother, 2 sisters, their partners and kids. Another brother is out of state and could not join us, so we all sang a Christmas carol to him over the phone! Lots of joking around, games and good food.
Christmas day we see my wife’s Dad, her one brother and his fiancé. More food, good times and gifts.
I continue to enjoy my bicycle hobby- Recently sold two 45+ year old classics I restored to help fund a new commuter bike I’m getting for riding to work. I have more in process of being refurbished. I like it when my hobby can pay for itself.
I went ice skating with my kickball group recently. First time on the ice in more than 15 years. I only wiped out once!
Michelle said something about “finding our own goodies” in the MLC chapter. Most important is this in order for us to thrive. GAL I believe it is called. No matter how well we do it though, we still will desire closeness with a partner. I’m still hoping for the physical intimacy to return.
My wife continues to exercise regularly, which is a good sign. She also was quite generous with the X-mas gifts for me. I’ll continue to be patient and see where this goes… for now.

Aww, you’re so sweet, Wonka. Let’s go for a ride on a bicycle built for two!
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
