The Year of The Terri

On New Year's Day, Dawn and I are going to do a Polar Bear Plunge at Boulder Reservoir. We're considering it a baptism for the New Year; a chance to wash away the mistakes, the missteps, the confusion...and start new.

2007 is going to be all about me, baby.

Whatever I want is what I'm going to make happen. No matter how big or how small...it's happening. All of it. I will not accept another mediocre year of coasting along. Wanting something more is what prompted my move, and after a few setbacks, things seem to be on track. Why stop now? I'm going to learn to ski. I'm going to spend a week in Alaska. I'm going to talk to that guy at the Buffalo Rose who looks like Matthew McConaughey. I'm going to get my motorcycle license. I'm going to go skydiving. I'm going to camp in the mountains. I'm going to play in a Texas Hold 'Em tournament. I'm going to master finding my way around LoDo. I'm going to learn more about hockey. I'm going to join a kickball league. You name it and I just might try it next year.

New year, new start, new outlook...new Terri.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
Just more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realize that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to!
"Put Your Records On," Corinne Bailey Rae

Carl: Guess the cat's out of the bag...meeting The Spackler is my secret dream. And really, since 2007 is all about me, you have no choice but to do as I say and venture west for a visit.

Yep, more snow. Woo-fuckin'-hoo! Another foot on top of the two we got last week.

You wanna come keep me warm? I've got fixins for French Toast...
