It’s a new year, which really means nothing at all. The date change is arbitrary and meaningless–but, we attach all kinds of meaning to it. Resolutions, a new leaf, new habits and goals are all put into action based on this number:2021. I’ve created a new format here to commemorate the zero to one changeover. Everything else is pretty consistent. I hope that we have better luck this year than last, but all we can do for now is stay safe, keep making solid work and hope for the best.
