The first blog of 2009

I hate New Year's resolutions. It's a waste of time for everyone, especially the resoluter. It's a commitment that lasts, if lucky enough to sustain, three months tops. It's a waste of time.

But if I had resolve, it would be in on my own terms. I would set a goal that has a realistic chance to be met. For instance, to make no resolutions.

That being said, my other secret goal in mind is to stay active here. It's been too long and I must communicate with you, whoever you are. Basically, I need to ramble and I could really give a rat's ass about what.

So going forward, there will be words, current brain activity about who, what, when and where. There will be pictures of the city of Canton and places elsewhere. My mind will wonder and my thoughts will be an open book.

Some of it will be thoughtful, some of it will make no sense of all. But who cares, it's not for you anyway.

Thus, here's to 2009. A special year right now, but let's see how things are in about ... say, 3 months.
