“Corn Bread: Ain't Nothing Wrong with That”
Do you remember that commencement speech by Kurt Vonnegut that had a lot of pithy observations designed to help young graduates live a life worth living? You know the one I'm talking about— the one he never gave. Yeah, that one.
Anyway, there's a final lecture by a professor with a terminal illness on YouTube that's making the rounds with pretty much the same goal: to provide the living with life lessons they can use now, while there's still have time.
Don't worry. I'm not going to do that. For one, I wouldn't presume. For another, you're probably smart enough to know not to take life lessons from me. In fact, if you can read that last sentence, you're smart enough to know not to take life lessons from me. So I won't try.
But with resolution season just around the corner, I wanted to give you something to get you off to a good start on making you a better you. Since you won't listen to me (good call, my friend), I had to find someone you might listen to.
Happy New Year's!

Y También . . .
Thanks for all of the great laughs throughout the past year.
You rock.

Thanks, Reenee. I appreciate it.
By “it,” I mean, the whole thing—reading my blog repeatedly (you must be a masochist) and writing your own (which I enjoy a great deal, as you know).
Happy New Year's. Here's hoping the kicks start getting easier to find.
