Happy New Year

We are in bed. Kitcat is sleeping, I am typing. It's 2008. I'm doing better about not biting my nails. Even though I hate the New Years holiday, and even though I am suspicious of quick fixes and five-point plans and all suggestions that life in the future will be other than it has been in the past, I like New Year's resolutions. I like fresh starts. I like how different times have different feels. The best thing about this year so far is that I have brilliant, motivated students, and we are analyzing Starbucks cups and Nigerian money transfer spam emails and teaching is fun again.
