solitary consignment
it's amazing what you can learn from the game of solitaire. (i sound like a commercial.) for instance, i was reminded recently that if you miss your opportunity the first time it comes around, you'll never know what it would have been. you can certainly catch it the next time around, and it may be all you want and need, but it won't be the same as it would have been if you had seen the opportunity and taken it right when it happened.
hmm, it took me a really long time to write that. instant messaging is to blame.
well, it's the new year. i'm feeling pretty good about this one, actually. i think that it has had a good start, in some ways. bad, yes, in some ways -- e.g., it's almost two o'clock and i have work tomorrow, and i didn't get much sleep last night -- but, well, i'm just in a good mood, darnit.
hey, i'm writing in my diary while i'm in a good mood. this is going to be an unusual year.
