The Last Post Finally, I have climbed out of the "Pit of Despair". I have got my Finances sorted. My Business is working really well. Almost too well. I have a sad decision to face, soon, when I must "put to sleep" one of my dogs (loss of rear leg control, problem is damaged nerves). And do I get the puppy I have been offered, or not? It's another 13 years or more commitment. Max (my Stud Dog) has had fun, recently. Lucky sod. OK, I still have various problems to face, but don't we all ? Well, I "Met" someone - it MIGHT work, or it might not. Time will tell. Sadly, I discovered today that a good friend of mine had left his Wife and earlier this year - I expressed my regrets, but he said that at last he was happy. I think that I would rather live a 'solitary', uncomitted life with the occasional 'liaison' with Michelle, than have a life of misery. (Maybe I WILL get that puppy, after all.) I had a Lunch with former colleagues today (December 11th). I guess that I will have that event to 'look forward to' for some years to come. Then I Tutored a bright young lad this evening. We agreed that the Maths Text Book was wrong. Just goes to show that you can't trust the "written word". The lad even asked my my religion - I explained that I am a Gnostic, which the Roman Church corrupted at the Council of Nicea in AD325 to "agnostic", in order to hide the true beliefs and nature of Yesu the Nazarene. Not too happy about backing my Jeep into my (wooden) garage doors tonight and damaging the doors. The Jeep goes in for bodywork repairs from idiots on Wednesday, so it will be OK, but the garage doors ? Oh, well, that's life. Over some time, I have observed a change in the nature of the people writing in "The Magazine". Suddenly, there is a cadre of people who automatically "Disagree" with whatever I write. Sad people. Pity they can't read and understand good, constructive English. (And if you are one of those, please have the courage to leave your name.) Pointless criticisms will be deleted. Christmas approaches. Unfortunately, I have misplaced my address book. What a shame. Still, I can remember by heart all the people who are important to me, and who have stood by me. Have I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish this year? Well, yes and no. Still have more paperwork than I care for, the Jeep (why do American vehicles come out so shoddy? - my American Ex-Fiancee warned me about them) keeps having problems, but I still enjoy it. Some unfinished business to complete this week. I get to tell my Bank Relations Manager on Wednesday to withdraw charges, or I will move my accounts after 42 years of 'loyalty'. I have a "glucose intolerance" test to take - not diabetes as well ? But, I have proved to myself and others that I can make a new career at 59, my dogs still love me, and maybe someone else will. Overall, not too bad. (Oh, and I increased my charitable donations and now sponsor two as well as cancer research, etc, and a terrific photograph of my dogs adorns the July edition of next year's Breed Rescue Society - of which I am the First Life Member.)  So, I guess that it's "Goodbye from Me, and it's Goodbye from Them". May your God go with you. Peter |

God Bless you, Peter in Surrey. HOpe you have a Happy New Year. 13 years is not a bad commitment to make, right? Longer then most marriage today. Victory Lee

Dear "Victory Lee", Thank you for your kind wishes. When "Tara" passes away, I will probably get another puppy. My last marriage (terminated by "The Grim Reaper) meant that Maura and I were together for 22 years, and today would make almost 31 years. When I commit, it's for Life.
