Bigger Slide
Not long ago, we were Astorian bon vivants. We threw parties, were invited to parties, and mixed often with our favorite people.
Times have changed.
Astoria is a lonely place now, with few gatherings - even during the holiday season. Some with whom we were once inseparable now don't even bother sending me a birthday card, much less going to dinner, or getting together for drinks or a visit.
Paul thinks it's because we're moving, but I think not. It started before then - nothing substantial, but less phone calls, more gatherings in which we were not included... Something happened, and I don't know what.
I've racked my brains...what did I say? what did I do? what did I NOT say? what didn't I do?
We drew a blank. Neither of us can figure it out.
All I want for Christmas is my house to sell. It's too cold up here to feel cold on the inside, too.
