And on a more personal note...

I re-read my daily journal for 2011 yesterday, an indulgence which left me reeling with memories of a year that was excessively eventful and yet nominally didn't appear to move me forward all that much.

There were, however, two obvious and predominant themes for me in 2011:  Fireball shots and Ole Miss grads.  I spent a lot of time hanging out in bars with both...and they proved to have an unparalleled ability to make me feel like shit...

(I think there's a life lesson somewhere in there, but whatever it is, I don't think I've learned it yet.  Maybe I will in 2012.)

Books read in 2011:  31 (that's the number finished; this year I implemented a rule that it was okay to walk away from a book if it sucked, and a fair number of them do)

Movies seen in the theater:  34 (goal for 2012:  finish more books than movies)

Miles run:  792 (not bad for someone who'd never previously cracked 500 in a year)

Blogs written:  170 (more than I would have guessed)

Here's to 2012, and the hope that it treats each and every one of you well.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!!

  2. Thank you, Sam! And Happy New Year to you, too!!! I was thinking the number of books was kinda low considering how much I read this year, but then I thought about all the books I started and then didn't finish (which I'm guessing would have put me over 50). Even at that, though, I haven't gotten back to the glory days of my youth, when I'd burn through books LIKE CRAZY.

    If you find anything super-awesome to read, let me know...and I'll do likewise! (We need something that won't put you to sleep!! :))
