The New Year’s Post. Resurrected Post
Last week a Christmas web log post, this week a New Year���s post. I���m sensing a holiday theme running through these scribblings of mine. None of this sort of consistency for me. I hereby declare a halt to holidays for the immediate future so I can write about other subjects.
So let it be written, so let it be done.
Yesterday MBW, the HA, and I stripped the tree of ornamentation, leaving a drying pine husk in the living room. Today I took it outside and dismembered it with a saw, then stuffed the limbs and sections of the trunk in the yard debris bin. I felt like a criminal in an unproduced episode of CSI: Arbor Day.
We didn���t make it to midnight. That just isn���t in the cards when one has a three-year old who wakes early. Unless one is a masochist, which I am not. Nonetheless, we celebrated the passing of the old year and incipient arrival of the new with a bottle of prosecco.
So, farewell 2016. Hello 2017. Traditionally this demands the making of resolutions. I���m not going to do it. I���m pretty comfortable right now, happy with work and life. But, as too much comfort can lead to stagnation, I suppose I should at least develop some aspirations. Thus for 2017:
At least one more novel published
Complete another (at least a first draft)
Outline yet one more
Get a concrete slab poured so I can set up the grill
Brew beer
Travel someplace new
There. To what more can man possible aspire?
Happy New Year, readers.
