It’s nearly 2009. I’m sitting in the dark in my parent’s family room half-listening to Dick Clark’s New Years Hollywood. It was a quiet new years, just like last year. Although last year I had better company–sorry parents! Tonight, besides eating hors’ d’oeuvres and watching a movie, I gave the dog a bath. He’s coming into 2009 smelling fresh (well, except his breath, but we’ll work on that too). I’m actually going to bed in a minute. Like many other New Years Eves 0f my past, I may be asleep at midnight.
I’ve been thinking about the best NYEs of years past. Here’s my top 3:
1. buddhist New Year’s eve service in Chicago
2. jumping in the pool at the millenium with tons of cousins as the clocked ticked onto the hour
3. Blues fest in Boca. So much fun.
I have some resolutions, but they’re personal. In general, I’m always striving to be a better person, true to myself, and not so boxed in (on myself).
Happy New Year! May 2009 be a hopeful, peaceful, successful year.

yay buddhist new year’s service in Chicago! i miss it. i almost tried out a buddhist thing here in DC, but it seemed really different and probably like it wouldn’t be the greatest idea. oh, and it was far away. oh, and i didn’t have good people to go with. and then go get ice cream with later. and call my drunk mother.
