Happy New Year. 2003 was a blur. Another irreplaceable chunk of a finite and rapidly passing lifetime.

I have made some resolutions, in no particular order.

• I will try to average fewer than 80 hours of work per week.
• I will try to find a wife, or some reasonable approximation thereof.
• I will try to stay in better shape; two years ago I was in great shape, and it’s gone steadily downhill since then.
• I will take a vacation.
• I will see more of my grandparents, who will not be around forever.

There are a few more.

My monkey-strong bowels are girded with strength like the loins of a dragon ribboned with fat and the opulence of buffalo … dung.
