I Resolve To…

A recap of the last year’s events:

  • I gave Lisa a diamond ring and Lisa and we began our wedding planning.
  • I worked in New York City and stayed at various locations in and out of the city.
  • I took a new job, having turned down two other (retrospectively worse) offers.
  • I read almost the entire Dune series of science fiction novels.
  • Lisa and I played lots and lots of tennis.
  • I went skiing more than in any previous year.
  • I learned that I love Mexican food almost more than any other type.
  • All my friends chipped in for a Nintendo Wii.
  • I visited my paternal grandmother for the first time in many years, even though she lives right in northeast Philadelphia.

This year, I resolve to:

  1. continue to learn about myself and the world
  2. increase my patience and understanding
  3. make greater contributions to society
  4. love more purely, widely, and honestly
