‘Tis the beginning of a different year! Some might even call it a NEW year. A few might go so far as to dedicate the first day of this NEW year to observance of this NEW year. Those people are (to use the terminology of an OLD year) whack.

As the days slowly get longer, I hope to spend more time writing outdoors, as a lot of my best material has resulted from train-o-thought writings, which are much more varied when the activities of nature and neighbors are thrown into the mix. I am also hoping to become more productive in general. I’ve seen some good signs in that direction lately. I seem to be increasingly successful at adhering to my mantra of “Don’t Lament, Implement!”

Wishing a good year to everyone who reads this, and a mediocre year to everyone else…
