I frequently say “I don’t believe in Karma, but I think what goes around comes around”.<\/p>\n

In a similar vein, I don’t really believe in New Years’ Resolutions – but I have a bunch of goals for the next year that I really <\/em>want to hit.<\/p>\n

Let’s start at the top:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’m in vastly better shape than I was a year ago. Now is no time to backslide; joining the “Y” (for the kids and I) in about two weeks.<\/li>\n
  2. In a similar vein, now that I’m working in downtown, I will be well able to bike to work when the weather improves, especially in the summer (when I don’t have to drive kids to school and I can get as early a start as I want). That’s the goal for the summer; bike it to work every day weather permits.<\/li>\n
  3. My daughter has had a blinding flash of epiphany re school in this past three months. Need to facilitate my son’s having the same thing.<\/li>\n
  4. My house is the next priority. Going to improve the overall level of housekeeping quite a bit. Even if I have to pay for the help.<\/li>\n
  5. Also re the house – I’m going to build that patio I’ve been yammering about for the past two years.<\/li>\n
  6. In many ways, the job I have now is the one I’ve been hoping to find ever since I left StorageTek in 2000; I am, at least nominally, in a leadership position. I’m going to make the most of that in the coming year.<\/li>\n
  7. The blog – there are a number of things I’ve been dying to do with this blog as it approaches its fifth anniversary, in about a month. More later.<\/li>\n
  8. Also – after nine months of thinking about it, I’m going to try to get my podcast site finally <\/em>up and on the air in the coming weeks. There’s a technical issue I have to work out – but it’s finally doable.<\/li>\n
  9. As re the NARN – well, the status quo isn’t half bad. We’re starting to see how well the show’s actually been doing; continuing to clobber the competition in head-to-head radio combat. Next year will bring even more fun stuff.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Anyway, I’d like to thank all of you readers and commenters. Your feedback and support have been one of the highlights of recent years for me. As to the criticism – well, it’s given me people to laugh at, which is also valuable.<\/p>\n

    Hope you and yours have a great 2007!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
