New Year's Day- Start a resolution
1. Stop and smell the flowers-- done. United States Botanical Gardens. Particularly enjoyed the orchids, the cacti, and the trains.

2. The pursuit of happiness and other inalienable rights-- examined. The National Archives is not a crowded place on New Year's Day. I am however worried about that fourth one in the Bill of Rights. I'm not sure I still have privacy regarding my personal effects since they went through two X-ray machines. This erosion concerns me.

3. Do something for you- How about Chili and a milkshake for brunch? Yep-pers.

4. And we're off. Come along, I think it's going to be quite a year.
