January First.. the first day of 2014. I spent my day pointing out firsts.. my first right turn of the new year , my first glass of water of the new year .. My first soldering iron burn of the new year my first grilled cheese, my first programming error…my first hike.\u00a0 etc.. i called them all off.. and . it drove my family nuts \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 !<\/p>\n
We had a great night last night at Jen and Jim’s.. lots of new folks i hadn’t met.. but like all meeting in Vermont.. we quickly figured out how we were all connected. played music, sang, ate and fired a cannon.. also Took lots of pictures, but managed to erase them from my phone this morning as I did my first phone. backup of the year..\u00a0\u00a0 Diane and I managed to get home right before midinght.. we were in bed to watch the Times Square ball drop and asleep by 12:15. I woke with my first 8 hour sleep since… hmmm.. can’t even remember when .. felt good !<\/p>\n
Did my best not to accomplish anything today lest I fall into the panic of making resolutions.. and basically succeeded.though i did work\u00a0 on a favorite electronics project with my friend John and did make substainial progress there.. but it was accidental progress \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Also did soem cathing iup on email which i was carefully avoidin last week.. I n all those firsts, were soem lasts.. a half dozen friends were leaving their job either for other places.. or for retirements .. New years is a time for endings as well as begininnings.<\/p>\n
I’m looking forward to this year.. .\u00a0 now to begin…<\/p>\n
