[Boatanchors] Time for My Yearly Excuse-Making!

[David Stinson]

Here we are again at the end of another year and it's 
time for my annual excuse-making! ("yeaaaaaaa!")

This is the time I get reminded who I forgot to do 
something for, send something to or write something about.
I actually do have an excuse for the way things keep 
going into one ear and promptly falling-out the other;
just this morning I struggled for awhile trying to remember
any word that expressed "to receive a benefit from" 
("benefited," of course) and it just wouldn't come.
At this very moment, I can't tell you a single synonym 
for "benefit" and I refuse to google it; 
I will beat my brain into submission!  
Brother- cognitive decline suuuuuucks.
But I'm not sitting in a home dribbling into my lap yet,
so on we go.

If I owe you something I didn't send, or forgot to answer
a letter, or some other fool thing, please remind me.
I don't do it on purpose; I promise.  I'm just.... scattered.
I have more mail in my inbox right now that needs to be sorted
than any reasonable person would believe.
An improvement this year:
I will put those reminders in a special folder 
on my desktop (so I can't forget where I put the folder!) 
and deal with each issue as time and resources permit.

Lastly- If I have failed to offend you over the past year,
please be patient.  I will get to each and every one 
I have failed to offend as soon as possible.  
The list keeps getting longer....

God Bless and take care of yourselves in the coming year,
