‘Twas the day after Christmas and I am so happy it’s over.
We had a snowy Christmas evening and drove out to China Rose for an excellent dinner – slipping and sliding all the way in the early evening gently falling snow. When we left the restaurant, the place was packed! I had spicy Singapore rice noodles! Bits of chicken, pork and shrimp. Traditional Christmas fare.
Santa was good to me. I got a Bolivian alpaca sweater from the Texas wing of the family. I got T shirts, fresh booze, the Steve Jobs bio, some sweet goodies and a new toilet seat – one of those that lowers itself slowly without a BANG. I’m really excited about that. I just love technology. I don’t remember being that good a boy last year. How does that thing go? You can fool some of the people all of the time but . . . .
Ah, but I know they are not fooled. It’s humbling to know that they seem to love me ( read, benevolent tolerance ) in spite of myself. Looks like that would motivate me toward self betterment. Looks like it, doesn’t it?
A resolution is crystalizing in my mind as I speak. I shall seek to be a better person in the new year. I can’t believe I said that. I have always avoided New Year’s resolutions. Notice the absence of specificity. However, I suppose it couldn’t hurt to cut back on the profanity, and possibly the blue cheese. Although both seem to be essentially involved in any successful life.
