well, it's a new year.

I liked 2010 better. Visually, it was easier on the eyes somehow.

Around our house, my nephew coined this year as "twen'y leben". Maybe it will catch on.

we had a really, stormy new years eve-- on over into about 02:00 new years morning. I'm just glad we didn't get washed away or blown away by tornadoes.

I feel a bit stupid sometimes when I find myself thinking up new year's resolutions. I've only kept one for any extended period in my life-- and that was to try and read more. I read a book a month two years ago. I've tried to continue the process. I haven't kept that same pace, but I do read more than I used to. I've gone from zero reading to at least squeezing in a few books a year.

But, I haven't been doing it all that long.

So, is new years a new beginning, or a signal that you're about to see 365 days of more monotony?

I think that's all up to each of us. And I guess that's what new year's resolutions are all about.
