New Years 2009

I spent last night, New Years Eve, in my bed while reading Ellen Wolfe's Walking the Dream. It is a phenomenally well written novel about Wolfe's thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. It is my own plan to thru-hike the AT in three years after I graduate from BGSU and picking up tips and learning the tricks from "Wolf Woman" will help me every step of the way. 126 text messages were received and sent from my phone last night, 90% of which were just "Happy New Year, Be Safe." The other 10% were me telling Tim how to play Risk, the board game. I gave him one rule: "Take Zimbabwe first," and he couldn't even follow that one simple rule...we will see about him! Though my New Year's Eve was totally uneventful I enjoyed just relaxing by myself and avoiding all trouble with the police.

"In all fairness, I had Zimbabwe at the end...because the World was MINE at the end..." -Tim Baughman
