Happy New Year!

Okay, this year I'll get serious about this. I mean it. I'd make it a resolution, but I never do any of those, so that wouldn't help much.
Christmas was a success. My GF came to Chicago with me, marking the first time a non-family member was there for Christmas. Hmmm...maybe that means something should be happening soon...
Da Bears wrapped up the NFC North, even though the reserves lost the game against Minn. First round bye and #2 seed, baby!
New Years Eve was a nice, uneventful time. Had a nice dinner with the GF, then just chilled out and waited for the countdown. Champagne, bad movies, good times.
Bowl season is almost over, and I managed to keep my 'holiday weight' to only 4 or 5 pounds. Not too bad, considering what my diet consists over during the x-mas/NYE break. I need Penn St or Texas to win to get me back to .500 on my picks. I made some odd choices and paid for it. Good thing there is only pride on the line.
Okay, I need to bone up on my engineering skill/knowledge, as I may be pursuing a design job in the very near future. I'd struggle to get through an interview right now.
PEACE!
