01.2005

If i had to give this coming year a name i would prolly name it "The Year of the Bean Taco". Carol and i have an unspoken resolution (for fear of not following through with it) to not eat out nearly as much anymore. For carol this means a fresh pot of beans every few days, and a lot of toritllas.

Not much has changed for Adolfo iv, though. He still gets a pb&j and honey sandwich in the mornings, and a couple of scrambled eggs if we get up early enough. From time to time, we'll even get a bowl of oatmeal to go with our coffee.

The start to this year bodes nothing for me. I am not particularly hopefull of things to come, nor do i have any particular anxiety about what this has in store for us. I'm in a state of equilibrium, it seems.

That isn't to say that there aren't some pretty wonderful things slated to happen this year:

- Amber and Adolph are getting married.

- Todd and Diana are getting married.

- My sister is getting married.

- My son is turning 3 years old and at the same time become eligable for enrollment at St. Steven's Catholic School. (i pray that i would be able to afford it.)

- I will have been at M.D. Anderson for 3 years in February.

Another wonderful thing this year: Killy's one resolution - make homemade flour tortillas ...

... with lard.
