Some New Year's Resolutions for 2009:
1)Write more
2)Exercise more
3)Complete some home projects (believe me, we have a list)
4)Keep "day job" at a sane level

Dean and I are going to go to the neighborhood get-together tonight (see below), and then turn in early. Who can stay up until midnight anymore? Around here, we go to bed when it is midnight in New York.

5th Annual Bradner Burn
Wednesday, December 31, 2008 - 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Bradner Gardens Park in southeast Seattle
29th Avenue South and South Grand Street

Throw something into the burn barrel.....
Bring your hopes and wishes for the New Year 2009 by writing them on old holiday cards, gift wrapping, cardboard, wood, etc. to throw into the burn barrel. Effigies are encouraged.

Banish the bad vibes of 2008 and bring on the good ones for 2009.....
Bring a noisemaker to ring in the new year. (Musical instruments, bells, gongs, pots and pans, whatever you can use to make a sound will work.)

Dress warmly since this is an outdoor event. Get ready to mingle with friends and neighbors at this family friendly event.
