spring

Nice when it's the last day of the year and you have the last thirty or so minutes to yourself.

Also nice when the Raptors win. They beat the Hornets. Good game.

Dad called.

How are things? I asked. "Great," he said.

So that's good.

November was terrible.

But I was batting .400 again in December.

That wraps up an amazing 2007. Maybe the best year of my life so far.

I look forward to saying that at the end of every year.

Next year I'd say, this is the best year of my life so far.

The year after I'd say, this is the best year of my life so far.

And so on.

And I'm inclined to make exclamatory remarks that begin with "O Spring..."

Dear me.

I'm a better person when I think less of myself and more of others.

Tonight I'll think more of you.
