This is my first blog of the year 2011. That's pretty exciting.
One of my new year's resolutions was to blog at least once a week.
Oops!
I'm going to be better about that, even if the posts are just tiny little ones.
I guess I have to blog three times this week to catch up with what I missed so far in January.
Recently, I got a single pure white hair in my beard.
It was just as long as all the others which made me question both my acuity to the actions taken by my beard and the nature of bear-hair-coloration advancement. Did it just go instantly white? Did it just grow out really fast? Was I just not paying attention to my face for a month?
Anyway...
My first though was not, "Oh my God! I'm only twenty-six! I'm getting old! What?! No!"
My first thought was, "Sweet... One step closer to Santa Claus..."
Maybe that's just me.
Also, I broke a window while pulling a giant piece of extremely stinky ice from my window-sill because I didn't think to make sure that all the storm windows were down where they should be and water got into my office from the melting ice. There was a hole in my window for a while and that's really the reason I haven't been blogging (or doing much of anything on my computer); because my office has been closed off like a cold-stink broken-window quarantine. It's all better now, evidenced by my current use of the computer.
I had a super-merry Christmas. Amongst many other things, I gave (to various members of my family) Spiced Rum, a "professional" blowgun, ten-year-old chocolate bars, "Dog-Sauce," about a half-gallon of maple syrup, and a space rock that's probably older than the earth. I received (from whoever, amongst lots of other stuff) tons of books, a pair of polypropylene bokken, a custom set of juggling balls, some music and movies, a pickle-brine-bottle, zoo-animal party-plates, some more books, a horseshoe magnet, chattering teeth, a bird-feeder made of asian-inspired plastic dishes, and... some more books.
Also, I went to see Tron at the MN zoo, which was great. IMAX. 3D glasses. Super-fun.
Awesome holiday.
Lots o' loot.
I've also been listening to some podcasts at work.
They've been very funny.
You should listen to the ones I've been listening to...
Happy New Year.
Lots to do... : )
You are wise not to let the white strand in your beard upset you, because you have come by it quite honestly. Your grandmother Elizabeth had gray hair of noticeable quantity when she was just sixteen, although she colored over it for many many years. On you, a stripe or two will look very distinguished. I always say, gray hair can be still better than no hair, but if it starts to bug you, then shave it and shine it!
