Ok, I have a new year's resolution!
What? It's February.
Don't care.

Anyway, I resolve to take advantage of several places' unpopulated off seasons by exercising the skills to be fine with weather and obstacles that most others avoid.

Going solo in the remote harsh when no help will pass by... what could go wrong?

#newYearsResolution

started a new morning routine of catching up with the news, 2025 is all about staying informed.

I decided I needed to start working with my hands more this year (I’m not calling it a #newYearsResolution, but I do like to reflect a bit over the holiday break), and I’ve just completed my first proper #crochet project! Very proud.

'Long Live the Old Year'

Ring out the old, ring in the new. But how easy is it to do this?

Today marks the end of the first full week of 2025.

Sunday Questions:

1. This week, how much attention did you spend on people and things you don't like?

2. Was it serving you?

Know someone who made a New Year's Resolution to learn to knit? My Beginner Knitting Pattern post includes 18 free knitting patterns that are super easy and offer more than the cliched garter scarf! When I say beginner, I mean it. Many are just rectangles in basic stitches that are seamed to form hats, sweaters, bags, and more.

Live Music in 2025

My New Years resolutions speculations post from a few weeks ago included seeing more live music this year. I’ll use posts like this one to sort of take notes on shows that may be coming to my neck of the woods (or not) that I would like to try and work up the energy/courage to go see. We’ll see how this list develops over the course of the year.

• Tsunami on March 23rd at the Crystal Ballroom in Somerville Theatre
  • Yes I want to see this show. Will I? I don’t know. Tickets are already on sale.
• Throwing Muses
  • No US dates have been announced though there are shows on the books in Europe. If they play in the US you are probably going to have to chain me to a wall and lock me in a dungeon to keep me away.
• Steven Wilson
  • No US dates have been announced though there are shows in Europe (a lot of them) and word is that US/North American shows are coming. I would like to see him but how badly I want to go depends on his next record, which comes out in March. If it’s really good, then I will try to see a show, assuming he plays in/around Boston.
• Lizardfish
  • Duh

More to come as the year rolls on. I want 2025 to be a more musical year, but how badly do I want that? I’ll let you know as things develop.
