And So It Goes

I'm not one to stay up to midnight and beyond celebrating the old year and welcoming the new. Over several years, I've changed from a very nostalgic person to one who doesn't dwell on accomplishments or events very long. Each passing instant is different from the last, a chance to change the negative or keep the positive. No need to wait to make resolutions.

This much said, I can't recall anything remarkable about 2013 as a whole, but I did enjoy reading Keith R.A. DeCandido's Leverage: The Zoo Job for pure fun recently and writing a short story in the past week.
