On To 2005...
2004 is finally almost over. We spent the early part of New Year′s Eve putting up blinds and trying to find the owners for two lost dogs in our neighborhood (it all turned out good in the end). Tonight, it's dinner at Nino′s -- a fancy shmancy German / Italian restaurant near our house.
I usually don′t do this, but I thought I′d toss out a few New Year′s resolutions for the Year Of The Cock (or Rooster, depending on your interpretation of the Chinese Lunar Zodiac Calendar). Here goes:
- Drink more green tea, less coffee.
- Eat more vegetable stir fry, less bacon (and I can never cook bacon-wrapped sausage again).
- More hiking and biking, less video gaming (okay, who am I kidding on this one?)
- Read more (I have David Foster Wallace, Kurt Vonnegut, and Joseph Heller in my sights)
- Watch more Cartoon Network, less CNN.
So, there goes. We'll see which ones I stick to. In any case, hope everyone has a great New Year's!
