Joyful and happy, but let's not expect more of the holidays
than they're able to bring (16).

Bring in the Christmas presents, and let's see if we can find something out of the ordinary (17).

Ordinary stresses we must learn to cope with, expecting holidays, for
instance,
to relieve stress won't work nohow.(18)

Today a white truck with the license plate NOWHRMN crossed my path in a parking lot, which I found somewhat unusual. (21)

We've reached 21, I think that's when we start over with two words;

Gone in fleeting moments are signposts and synchronicities, moving beyond felicities, proverbial gold.

I'm like a chicken who's found a knife; "Missouri loves company," she sighed almost sorrowfully. (15)

Sorrowfully, May:O, they will berate you, Uncool L-J snarling at your creative but "unruly" word sequence. (16)


Someone needs a New Years Resolution, but you are right, Endy, the new
sentence is supposed to begin with the last word of the previous
entry, not just appear somewhere.

Lol, literal confusion. "Like a chicken with a fork." From my recent watching of The Butterfly. A lovely French film.

Perhaps, I would have done better to channel my admiration for Stephen King.

Happy New Year, Luke smile

Missouri, the great seal of the state is, united we stand [and] divided we fall. (15)

I joked that I was house sitting, going to write my novel (The Shining). We ventured west, travelled through Missouri (post card in every state for my grandmother) and hit treacherous roads in Colorado. A great joy to see Dan, my son. Making a stand in Nevada? Like walking through a whisper...now how does spelling or misspelling relate to candy via Sanskrit?

Fall to my knees, I do, and bow to anyone who Speaks or
even understands Sanskrit (16).

"Sanskrit," I've been told, is what a dyslexic striptease artist should look like halfway through her act (17)

who is just being his age accordingly.(18)
