ramblings

Have I mentioned my new year's resolution yet? It's singular.

I will not travel far this year. I will not travel near. I will not travel anywhere, 'less Death takes someone dear.

Okay, maybe that's exaggerating, as I do somewhat hope to get down to NYC this April to go see my cousin's ex's show, but that's only if my mum comes out and goes with me. But that's the only traveling I even half heartedly want to do this year.

I am so sick and tired of traveling. Three trips last year. THREE! And I had had every intention of not traveling last year, as well. But first it looked like my grampa was going to die, and we wanted him to meet Babe, so that was one cross country trip. Then DH had to go to Colorado for business, and we decided that since his ticket was paid for, we might as well make it a family affair so that Babe could meet his other set of grandparents... And then Christmas. I'll just chalk that trip up to 'love of family' (especially sister).

I repeat. I am NOT traveling this year. Unless someone dies. So please, everyone, if it's getting close to your time, please, please take pity on me and wait till next year. I mean, would another year really be that bad?

It does mean that I'll have to miss my high school reunion (if I'm even invited) Aw shucks.

Anyway, the other thing I wanted to share was an argument my friend, Anne Stone, wrote about writing and civilization. It's just her musings, but I thought they were interesting.
