And so the New Year has begun

And whooptie freakin do! A different year, and the same old crap to deal with from day to day.
At least for now. 2005 has got to be a year of change for me. Some habits have got to go. Some new habits should be added. And the job situation has got to change, too.

Hmmm, maybe it was a premonition. Last week, while thinking of the year to come, I decided that, in at least one aspect, it would be the year of the "lathered yak". You shouldn't concern yourself about that for now.

Then, as I was writing this, a few mental blocks fell into place. I have a lot of hard work to do this new year. I was born in the Chinese Year of the OX. A yak is, loosely, an ox...or at least related. So, it could actually be the year of the lathered ox, rather than a yak.

Though, the "lathered yak" still has an important role to play. Thankfully, I am easily amused.
