And finally, as the hectic Week before Holidays turns to a snowy weekend with last-minute gifts, cards, etc...

Here is my 20-somethingth annual online greeting card, something I've done since (gasp!) before Facebook.
Started as an early-adopter gift to friends, family and co-workers without web sites of their own (or "social media").

Happy Holidays - 2024/2025

Here's the latest iteration, just in time to share with folks who haven't sent/exchanged cards f2f - yet. Hopefully enjoyable.

Happy Holidays! ,And Winter Season (or Summer down under)

Meanwhile, some vintage Woody Guthrie. Two Sides, really....
Some fine New Year's Resolutions for and by Woody Guthrie.

As described by banjo/guitar performer/teacher Joe Newberry. ("Context & Perspective")

Woody Guthrie's New Year's Resolutions, January 1, 1943.
I especially like 18, 19, 20, 25, and 31.

And a less rousing song about less uplifting thoughts the next year:

Cocaine Blues (1944)

Note: Woody Guthrie was a singer-songwriter known for politics (pro-socialism, anti-fascism) and music;
He wrote "This Land is Your Land" as an alternative to "God Bless America".

Happy / Happier 2022

New Year's Day

~

Yeah
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you, night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says
Say it's true, it's true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Ah, maybe the time is right
Oh, maybe tonight
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you, be with you
Night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

The Last Day of 2018

This is the last day of the year 2018. It is time for many to propose resolutions for them to do in 2019. I personally will start a 90 day #Bible reading plan. I am not sure if it is much of a resolution, but I am going to install an encrypted #Arch #Linux (Or maybe #Parabola #GNU /Linux-libre) operating system on my main machine before I travel. I also will not be on diaspora* nor Mastodon for the next month.

I also have been thinking of what has happened in 2018. It has been an impressive year, and looking back I see some amazing things God has done in my life in particular. I cannot wait for what God has for me in this next year. Since I will be moving to Europe for a while (which is all I will say publicly).

Like many others, I will stay up until midnight and enjoy the festivities and the countdown. Like everyone else, I feel that this last New Year's just passed, and am amazed at how soon 2019 has come.

This last year I have started two different projects which I plan to continue working on. Namely, #Heb12 (a Bible app system), and #LibreCheck (a check-in system like KidCheck for daycares, Sunday Schools, etc.). If you have seen my previous post, you will know that I plan to do a lot of work on LibreCheck in the next few months (if you want to help out, please talk to me!).

What are you planning to do this next year?
