Feb 1st, 2009

Just checking out my connections on Facebook. Looks like 3/4's of my "friends" are either family or youngsters the age of my children. Matt tells me that there seems to have been an influx of folks my age in the past month or so. I've also been invited to be friends with a fellow who shares my name. So far, I haven't accepted his invitation. Guess I'm worried that it might get confusing.
Never really expected to see 2009. Not that worried about my own health just didn't figure the world would still be turning. But here it is and here we are.

I'll pass on the resolutions, thanks. My exercise minded daughter chose to steer clear of the gym crowds for the month of January. She expects that things will be back to normal by February. And that's pretty much my opinion of resolutions in general. If it's important then it can be started before (or after) January 1st. Call it something other than a resolution and you probably increase the likelihood of success.

And now we have a new president. This one seems to have generated more hope than usual. Hope is good. It is a great start but it won't really accomplish much without some willpower and sacrifice on the part of the American people.
