201(1-2)

Whoa.  Today is the last day of 2011.  That went by fast.  What have I accomplished this year?  I have:

• gained some weight
• lost some hair
• broken a bone
• passed a kidney stone

From this we can infer that the human body is indeed God’s finest joke.  Also I have:

• published a novel
• and some stories
• had a host of adventures

So, not too bad.  Next year I am starting a new job teaching humanities at my local community college.  Next year I also hope to:

• finish my next novel
• and some stories
• have a host more adventures
• not break any bones
• not pass any kidney stones
• maybe reproduce.  I’ll pencil that in.

We’re also going to have to move.  Moving sucks.  Nothing like moving to make you ponder burning all your books.  Because–things that are dense:

• bricks
• black holes
• books

So, 2012 resolutions:

• collect plush animals
• take up pillow making
• basically, a light-weight hobby, is what I’m saying.

Happy new year, everybody!
