Already, for a moment at least, this is my year
We had ribs last night, and company. And all of that was grand. We also had brussels sprouts, which served the dual function of covering greens and my annual brussels sprouts intake.
Most importantly we had black eyed peas and no one else wanted any. So these all became mine:
I don’t know what the rest of the year or even most of this week has in store for me. Perhaps this is the high water mark. Maybe not, but last night, over ribs and peas, that seemed just fine.

Happy New Year!
Resolutions should be built upon. We are resolute. Since we’re all better at some resolutions than others it only makes sense to think of them as a continuation.
So I’m resolved.
Say it right the first time.
Write it right the second time.
Focus your presence.
Become more quietly assertive.
May as well keep working on earlier ones, too. They are no less valuable because we have changed calendars.
2018:
Be more joyous.
Be a better example.
2017:
Be more thoughtful. Help more. Be more cordial, courageous and kind.
Read more. Write more. Shoot more video. Take better photos. Work better.
Make two new friends. Find three new hobbies. Learn four new skills.
Sleep more. Make The Yankee laugh a lot.

Junk, and a drawer
Have you ever, in your life, seen a junk drawer this organized?
I bought some balsa and jigsawed out some little dividers for one of my bathroom drawers and that was such a big hit that I had to make one for The Yankee and then she asked if I had any left over balsa and could I make some more.
So I set about making the junk drawer a bit neater.
This one is not a junk drawer. It is a rice drawer, which is where we store the rice. And also some other things:
A gif I made for clip art purposes:
