Robyn, thanks for sharing a marvelous quote from Samuel Clemens that puts my previous post to shame.

“Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual. Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink, and swore his last oath. To-day, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient short comings considerably shorter than ever. We shall also reflect pleasantly upon how we did the same old thing last year about this time. However, go in, community. New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls, and humbug resolutions, and we wish you to enjoy it with a looseness suited to the greatness of the occasion. ”

— Mark Twain, Territorial Enterprise, January 1868

New Year resolutions - they're getting old. Why the attitude? Because if you really want to change something you'll start today instead of making it a NY resolution. 

I guess my brain is still on holiday mode. It just doesn't want to guide my typing fingers to write something thought-provoking.

I start off the new year with a brand new spankin' theme here. Nah, I didn't create it, but I like it!

Love what someone posted in a mailing list, “PS Happy 2002! (oops..I wrote that backwards....2002...there..that's better.)”

Last palindrome year: 1991

Next palindrome year: 2112
