Traditions

Tonight we will carry on a tradition that started somewhat organically and spontaneously and now, three years later, will continue on!

Tonight, Todd, Janet, Mike, and I will gather around the table for a meal and some Pitch playing.  Before midnight, we will all jump into the hot tub (with swimming suits - I can't believe you wondered!) and bring in the new year under the stars, with a glass of champagne (not for me, I'm on duty - drats!), and listen to Bob Dylan on the outside speakers.

There's something about traditions.  They are good.  They keep us remembering that some things are worth going to a little extra effort, making that thing priority when so many other items are pulling at that list.  And traditions are fun. 

Making New Year's resolutions are another tradition.  I like to jot down a list every year.  Try to hold myself to these lists of better-meant. 

Happy New Year's to all.  Be safe tonight and all of next year, dear ones!!
