All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
Well hello there, Dwellers. This here will be another short post for a couple of reasons.
One, my “new year” doesn’t really start until the weekend of the 6th. I’m headed out with the family on a cruise next week and there’s absolutely no chance of even bothering to consider being a productive or healthy human being during that time. I know who Current Me is, and Current Me is going to ring out this year of being a fatty by leaning into it. Might as well do my first weigh in of the year at my absolute worst, no?
Two, I’m finally – FINALLY – getting around to experiencing Peak Cinema. For as big a nerd as I am, it’s almost criminal that I haven’t seen the extended cuts of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. So, I’m remedying that. Fellowship and Two Towers tonight, Return tomorrow. Just finished up Fellowship and realized I needed to come bang this thing out before I get back to business. Such an absolute masterpiece. I could gush about these films about as much as I could complain about the sequel Star Wars trilogy, so to stop me from making this whole thing a spiel in favor of actually going to watch the second, I’m not even going to get started.
I hope you all had a fantastic 2023. Mine was good, a lot of peaks and valleys as one would expect, but I’m aiming to make next year a banner year. Both in my faith life, my personal life, and my professional life. 2024 will be a year of measuring. Because, as we all know, what gets measured gets improved.
