I'm about 40 miles North and West of Chicago. It's COLD, but no snow on the ground.......yet.
There's a small Bar and Grill, about 20' further than I care to walk, from my home.
Had a New Years Eve dinner and a few drinks there, with some good company. Missed the "Ball Drop", got home a minute or five too late.
So far, it looks like 2015 is off to a good start. Haven't heard any "Earth Shattering News" on the radio yet.
My January calendar ( a Mystic Seaport Classic Sailing ) Starts the year off with a pair of J Class sloops in the 1930 America's Cup race off Newport R.I. .
Once again, Christmas has been "put away". All the lights, and decorations, are now back in their boxes "till next December.
I put the "Tern" on hold, decided to work on the 52' cutter instead. The "Tern's hull" will be about 116', and I haven't calculated the "station offsets" needed to stretch the two-master's hull to that length.
Resolution made.....Resolution broken
Now I can get on with "normal life"
Hope 2015 is a Happy Year for all

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
