The New Year

A happy new year to all readers of the blog.


I am starting the year with unbridled optimism and writing 'readers'. With the blog monitor I know that there are 'readers'. So clearly not all the verbiage is in vain. There was a message from a satisfied customer a few weeks back who just wrote a line to say that she liked it - that's all - nothing more -voilĂ . I'm assuming it is a she as the name was Doris.

But I don't want to assume too much.

New year and it should be a time for resolutions. I have no idea what I would like to give up or what I would really like to do. I am reading more and that is good. I even ordered a few books off Amazon the other day. Wow - somehow I felt more intelligent doing that than purchasing songs off Itunes.

Though with the iphone I have downloaded a translator onto the phone. So at any moment I can clear up any of those niggling gender issues for nouns.

However the paranoid coward within is reluctant to whip out the phone on a whim for enlightenment just in case someone whips it away.

New year - same old same old.
