So here they are, in no particular order:
1. Get pets: a couple-o-cats from Treehouse when it opens
its new palatial digs in West Rogers Park. As for the dog, well,
just like last time, I expect s/he will just show up.
2. Travel this year to at least one strange and exotic
place, though one with nice bathrooms.
3. Screw up my courage and do the online dating thing. (And,
not to be pessimistic, but if nothing else it should give me plenty to write
about. With all names changed, of course.)
4. Buy a condo. Or a small house. Or, better yet, a Tiny
House and park it in a friend’s backyard. Or in a far back corner of a local
forest preserve.
5. Do more guest lecturing in academic courses, similar to
what I did this past fall at the Lutheran School of Theology/Chicago. (With
many thanks to Professor Schweitz for making that happen.)
6. Continue to act up, lobby, march, and protest for those
issues that matter most to me, especially the green ones.
7. Be more generous and forgiving (at times, aren’t those the
same thing?)
8. Other than just sending a check, volunteer with
organizations that serve Chicago’s needy and marginalized.
9. Get regular manicures (see “online dating thing.”)
10. Keep track of these resolutions to make sure they’re more
than just a wish list.
