I have been noodling with
different ideas for my end-of-the-year post for about a week or so now. I
bandied about the idea of a 2011 ‘round-up’ and even started that one – I got
two paragraphs in and everything. I guess I abandoned it when I realized 2011
has been a year I have been kind of ambivalent about. I mean, it has been quite a year. A year that feels like a minute.
But, without trying to sound maudlin, a year I’m perfectly fine with passing
into a new one.
Things are happy. Things are
good. Business is good, things feel pretty stable, and, on these crisp nights,
I can rock layers (clothing). Thanksgiving has passed and Christmas is coming
up really fast. Usually I am a pretty major Christmas geek. I love Christmas
music, the tree, the decorating, the parties, the excuse to be over dressed and
wear sparkly things, the excuse to be over dressed, wearing sparkly thinks
while drinking sparkly things.
This past Saturday night was very
exciting. First off, I may or may not have been on a date. But more
importantly, I was taken to two (2) places in my City of Angels that I had
never been nor had any prior knowledge of. That’s pretty rare.
