I will be going to the Unitarian Society I belong to for Solstice Celebration. I have been to several Solstice Celebrations there. Good food, good music, a short play and folk dancing. Enjoyable.

What’s your word for 2019? Mine is “coddiwomple,” an old English world for “to travel purposefully toward an as-yet unknown direction.” I suspect my cross-country sabbatical road trip will be full of surprises.
