the last day of this year....

It's that time of the year that we should all take time to sit quietly somewhere and reflect on that all important question -

Do I have enough ice????

Happy 2011 to you all!

auspicious dates

I know we have one of these days every year but this day in this year just seems to be more resonant than others....for me that is.
It is the sum of all the preceeding days since I last put finger to font.
It is a noteworthy date; an auspicious one.

Oh hell...I need to remind myself just what the hell auspicious means. Do you find yourself doing that? Using words all the time without acknowledging their actual meaning..

aw-spish-uhs
adjective
1. promising success; propitious; opportune; favourable
2. favoured by fortune; prosperous; fortunate
usage
the use of auspicious to mean 'very special' (as in this auspicious occasion) should be avoided

Ah...so my usage is erroneous.
Agh ...what the hell

very spesh-uhl date...noted

...clearing the decks...

"sometimes the greatest gain in productive energy will come from cleaning the cobwebs, dealing with old business, and clearing the decks."
