Thought for the new year
I’m off to a party and midnight mountain hike sponsored by my city, my youngest and our friend in tow.
Before heading off to do that, I thought I’d make a final statement about 2009. Here it is:
We should count ourselves lucky.
Really.
Just about everyone reading this right now (about 15,000 people) is far better off than almost everyone else on the planet.
In many ways, it’s been a miserable year. But it could’ve been worse, and I think it’s getting better.
See you next year.

As a beginning statement,
Here it is 2010 style:
This ‘Lucky’ counts himself accordingly among the very fortunate.
Really.
Agreed, I want very little.
It is indeed getting better.
I love that idea. Peace and every blessing until I see you
– to all of you and yours.
