Well the Christmas holidays have come and gone, and it looks like come Boxing Day, almost everyone (including myself) threw out all concepts of ‘The Value of a Dollar’ and went on a frenzy. Store shelves were picked bare and stayed bare the entire week! I have not seen this kind of sellout in previous Boxing Weeks.
And so 2005 is now in the past. It was a phenominal year, given that I got to spend a third of it on vacation, travelling around the world. And I have no expectation for 2006 to provide anything near that epic. But at the same time, I look to enjoy every week of this year just as much. Whether its spending time playing games with friends, adventuring around the city with my wife, or exploring new frontiers at work.
This year I didn’t think about any New Year’s Resolutions. I don’t think it was a lack of motivation thing, just more that nothing needs changing at the moment. That’s that.
Work started up January 2, with a foggy morning. While it sucked to have to go back when some people got the day off, it was nice to have almost no traffic on the road. That whole week was pretty light on the roads actually, and starting today it picked up again. It was good while it lasted.
