i don't party much anymore

last night we went to a party. it was a big party at a big house. at a young friend's who's partner is much younger than she is, so most of the guests were younger than my children. when i first moved to newfoundland in 1975 i was 25 years old and i learned how to party hard. christmas was about partying. i don't smoke any more and stopped drinking entirely about 5 years ago. music is too loud for conversation. i didn't last long at the party (keith has more tolerance so stayed a little longer). i walked home through the town. a crisp calm night. the moon almost full. the christmas lights making every home beautiful. i couldn't have been happier...
