Years ago, on New Year's Eve, my friend Bill told me that ever since he was a kid, he'd had this idea that whatever one was doing at midnight on New Year's Eve was, symbolically at least, what that person would be doing for the next year, and so it was important to choose one's activities well.
I liked that idea, and have held to it ever since. Every year, my wife and I choose something to be doing at midnight that symbolizes our hopes for the next year.
Well, I'm hoping to spend 2004 getting a new frickin' president, among other things. But I haven't yet settled on a way to symbolize that. Any suggestions?
What will you be doing?
