Well, well. The last day of 2025. I've felt all morning that perhaps I should post something special, but all ideas that occurred to me seemed too ... too much like work. Perhaps I should just note my efforts at losing weight, efforts that need to be renewed after New Year. I might recall my unusual expenditure on gadgets, like a blood pressure cuff, a new glucometer, and a camera for my computer (not to mention the fleeting indulgence in a printer/scanner). The two big events that will overshadow most memories of 2025 will be the birth of my grand-neice Julia and the flood in July. I've had two or three interesting falls that have set my bones to rattling and seem to mark a new and annoying epoch in my health. And I've had many life-sustaining Movie Nights with my brother John and my nephews.
As far as New Year's Resolutions go, besides dieting (which should include more financial responsibilty) I hope to finish my work on LOTR notes, perhaps trying to get back to finishing a chapter a week. It would be so disappointing if I never got to the end of it. My writing project of The Wizard, The Prince, The Warrior and His Son needs to be brought to some satisfying point of development. It occurs to me that I should concentrate on not being such a sadsack and a grump, to adding more value to the lives around me. I want there to be more to my legacy than a mound of books and a vague feeling of relief. I try, "but I really should try harder."
And so, a Happy New Year's Eve. Cue the fireworks. See you on the other side.
