Went to Georgia for Christmas, and the long drive didn't seem so long as last time.
Drove back from Georgia after Christmas, and This American Life podcasts made the drive sort of rewarding.
Took the train to Philadelphia for the LookHowSmartIAm conference, and we're all very smart. Some smarts are more sanctioned than others. Silliness aside, four of the sessions I took in were absolutely worth the trip. Also, some day I'll see more than the conference center, three hotels, and three restaurants/bars.
Took the train home from Philadelphia, and many of the buildings you can see from trains are abandoned. Some look like big red-brick foundries with chains hanging from the ceiling. Like from one of Kerouac's Lowell novels.
Hosted a New Year's party, and, as ever, had great fun. One should be careful when one gets pushy about themes and gimmickry at one's party. Let's say you decide to give a quiz on the preceding year, for instance... Just be cautious, is all.
Did as little as possible on 1 January.
Here we are.
