New Year's Day has a sad tinge. In elementary school, the day meant the end of the Christmas vacation and the imminent return to school. Mind you, now the day means the imminent return to work. Look at all the things past, gone, unfinished, and done: four funerals, two weddings, two day long exams, one week in Cape Cod, one weekend in Vermont... there's more. My mind takes about two years to process information.
Brian and I headed out for lunch after a shaky morning. The cafe was closed--we headed back to the apartment. In the evening we watched After The Thin Man. Jimmy Stewart looked old even when he was young. His hair was grey, but the movie was shot in black and white.
Resolutions, yes:
* Remember to ask for help
* Mind my own business
* Try happiness
