Happy New Year 2006

I doubt that I will be up at midnight. I hear the fire crackers already popping outside and hope that they are not mingled with gun fire this year. I have really never actually heard gunfire in our neighborhood, but this is Miami and every year, some jerk thinks firing his gun in the air is a celebratory thing. I often wonder where he thinks the bullet goes. Too many children are killed by stray bullets in Miami and all over the world. Let's pray that this year will bring us closer to peace everywhere.
