Resolutions for 2009…
- Have an almost (if not complete) “ready-to-hit-the-market” baseball game before June;
- Of all the stuff I haven’t read from the “top 100 novels” list ( I must admit that I completed my list recently and now I’ve got more than 200 books on it!), read everything I haven’t read (okay, it’ll take more than one year to do!);
- Appreciate silence and music again;
- Appreciate playing chess again even though I am sooooooooo far away from that kid who played chess tournaments at 15;
- Why dream about being a novelist? It’s about time I start writing… I have dreamed long enough about doing it, now I have to do it… One page at a time, that’s the key;
- A few road trips to plan (or do!)… Tuktoyaktuk, Old Orchard Beach (in the winter of course!), Fermont and any other destination that one of my friends can suggest and that sounds like a sooooooooo stupid idea (all I need is an excuse as in : baseball, rock concert, “why not”, lots of snow, etc);
- Stop by Cleveland… More than 24 hours. Progressive rocks and I miss you guys;
- Gauss and Riemann were just so ahead of their time! Read all I can read about them and keep that secret (I know I’m a geek… sometimes!);
- Play snooker and poker a little bit more often;
- See friends I haven’t seen for a too-long-period-and-that-is-my-own-fault;
- Take care of the one I love and our three princesses.

Considering myself in the 10 section (but no better than you), I’m ready to give a hand for 6 but probabbly not at 7.
Was just thinking of you this morning when U2’s “beautifull day” began … (now scratching the surface playing, from the good Canadian rock compilation of yours!), so I decided to stop here (instead of calling I know …)
Beautifull day is one of the good memories from our road trips, at the Tim in Lachine, coffre and red apple (un déjeuner de champion) before hiting the road for … one of those beautifull days, Toronto if I remember well to see Rush (where “Would hit Claude Lemieux from behind for food” was seen).
Among other good memories, the closed KFC … bastards !!!! A good laugh !!!
Memorable E, lost no freakin’ where, knocked at a door for the closest gas station … the lady crying all she could, just lost her father …
Washington brought also a few situations …
What about Skenectady (or however they spell it) pulled out of a hat to spend a weekend … ending at Cooperstown !
And so much more …
What shall it be this year ?? Chicago ? Finally Wrigley field this year ??!!

@7…then I suggest you take a road trip south. And tell me when you are coming this time.
Ciao.
