Happy New Year

I got a funny email from a gal I haven't seen in 17 years. We didn't even know what e-mail was then. I don't know how she found the blog. Perhaps she googled my name. Maybe she is in contact with my old buddy Howie. I don't know...

I tried to e-mail back but she doesn't answer my reply. How strange is that? Maybe her spam blocker is cutting me out. Hey CW... Are you there?

Here we are at the New Year which is a natural time for reflection. Thinking about an "auld acquaintance" will send you spiraling into reflection in a Big Apple New Years Eve (New York) second.

The result of my reflection... Hoo-Hah! What a ride it's been! A First-Class, all-in, balls to the wall, pedal to the floor, hair on fire, savage assault on the edges of the envelope. I can only conclude that it's been much better than I deserve and it's still getting better.

Don't resolve to make yourself what you can and ought to be. Instead of resolving, actually make yourself what you ought to be.

You could do it today because it will make your life better or you could do it today because AlGore says that global warming is going to end the world pretty soon and we're all gonna die and it just hopeless and we're running out of time. It doesn't matter why you decide to do it. Just do it. Today.
