One Year
How different was your life one year ago? How different do you imagine your life will be one year from today?

As I noted in a previous entry, my life doesn't change much, and that's how I like it.

I was starting to train for Nerd Camp a year ago, which involved trying to increase my aerobic fitness in preparation for my trip in June. Which I managed to do, but it still wasn't enough to prepare me for a week at 10,000 feet. Now, I'm just walking a mile and a half every day, more for general exercise than for any specific goal.

And I hope nothing changes over the course of the next year. Well, I should put that differently. Of course something will change; that's a basic bug in the software of life. Just - nothing major, such as health or finances. Hopefully I'll be a little bit better at writing, a little bit more knowledgeable, and, if I'm really lucky, a little bit wiser.

But I doubt it. If there's one constant in my recent life, it's been an utter inability to improve in any meaningful way, so I've just gotten better at making peace with that.

Drinking helps. One thing I can be sure of: I will have had more beer pass through me at this time next year.
