Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.

ten years ago, i was partying with howard dean.  at least i think he was there.

h?

anyway, i decided the best place to usher in the “end of the world” was with friends, far away from a metro area.  hasket and his fam hosted me for a few days for my first-ever stay in vermont during the winter season.  it was cold.  i wore a tux.  we pre-gamed at the house of the guy who owned ems.

he had several colors of the same car.

weird part of the year.  everyone is struggling to change things.  take stock of what’s happening, what they’ve got and what’s left to get.  then, at the same time, be unbelievably aspirational.  renewal, satisfaction and glory:  just around the corner.

if it all really worked, we wouldn’t find ourselves in the same place year after year.  i’m grateful for what i have.  i’m not going to promise myself kingdom come and i’m not going to let life’s pressure become too overwhelming.  i’m going to make small, good changes and if we’re still standing 365 later with strong hearts - it’s all you can really ask for.
