The chill in the air is reminding me that it's about time for new year’s resolutions. But remember: We’re in Chile now, where things are the counter-image of United Statesian things. So, naturally, a list of irresolutions: (in no particular order)
1. Move to Spain, Colombia, India, Peru, Argentina, Panama, Brazil, England, or Italy. or Thailand or South Korea.
2. Take violin and/or piano and/or painting and/or drawing and/or photography classes.
3. Foster-house a street dog or cat.
4. Do my laundry regularly, or live out of a backpack in the mountains where it really can't be helped.
5. Humor the civilized world with "on time" arrivals,and with better excuses at the ready.
6. Take a translation course or learn French, Arabic, or Hatian Creole.
7. Let my wings dry out in Los Angeles or Seattle for a bit… Uh oh. I think this might be “Goodbye Lenin."
8. Improve overall health by eliminating stressors.
9. Read more. Finish them. [Uf. “Finish them,” sounds so brutal, so forceful. I can’t bring myself to do it.]
10. Spend less time reading and more time actualizing.
