I shall at least start the new year of writing with good intentions and a plan.
FIRST Robotics kicks off at the end of this week. So for January, February and March expect one robot post per week. More than one on occasion, certainly for tournaments and if anything unusual happens.
I recently stumbled into an interesting local history tale. It has forced me to start a new "tag", True Crime. This is not a genre I generally peruse, but it appears to be of some interest. I'll spin this story out over the next few weeks.
Back to Vindolanda in May. The usual stuff. Dry stones, dry British wit, ale moistened evenings in the pub.
The year going forward will have more of my "Silly Grandpa" schtick, as helping out a two-jobs, daycare is pricey family is useful. I'm relying more on guile than endurance than five years ago with the first batch of grands, to say nothing of several decades back with our own kids.
I should go fishing more often.
I certainly will attend a lot of baseball/soccer/hockey/dance events.
Probably no Florida this spring. We bring a curse to areas down there we visit...hurricanes keep clobbering them. Maybe Alaska this year or some year soon. The unofficial standard is whether our fishing grandson would be bigger than the fish!
So, Happy New Year a bit early. We are now past Solstice, the shortest day of the year. Yes, I know, the increase in daylight is miniscule for a few weeks, but I cherish those few measly photons and enjoy them out of proportion to their actual numbers.
After all, from now on every day gets brighter. Enjoy each one.
