On New Year's Eve we'll be having a mostly vegetarian potluck and lots of music with good friends. And a short drive home afterwards.

For the new year I'd like to get more organized about playing music -- between an intense full time job and a fairly full performing schedule, I find that I don't actually spend a lot of time playing music with other people in a non-performance situation. Or learning new music to take on stage. Or just practicing by myself. As I get older it gets easier to get home from work and just sit around or turn on the tube. This is not how I want to spend the rest of my life. I've been working on a couple of books of music that I would like to finish -- that probably means less time on the internet.
