2012

I'd like to wish all my blog readers a belated Happy New Year and best wishes for good health and happiness in the new year! 

While visiting friends over the holidays I was able to attend Boston's First Night celebration New Year's Eve -- had a great time wandering town catching some great concerts and seeing some of the large carved ice sculptures like the one above.  I was really impressed with how well the MBTA subway system was working that night with the crowds -- we caught a total of 9 different subway connectons during the evening as we moved between events.

So, what to expect my blog for 2012?

• more photos, possibly taking it up a notch with some recent additions to my camera equipment
• more posts concerning "new to me" experiences - I did this a few years ago and found it very fulfilling to seek out new things -- found some favorite things I wouldn't have found otherwise.  Counting and tracking these things is a good way to encourage me to keep my eyes open for more, sorry if some of them aren't particularly interesting at times.
• links to other interesting blog posts elsewhere that I may run into from time to time
• more text, as time allows, to flush out experiences and thoughts

[new to me: attended Boston First Night #1, including an outstanding Pipe Organ Concert in Old South Church #2, First Night Procession parade #3, Parkington Sisters #4 and Mavis Staples #5 concerts at Symphony Hall, Fireworks over Boston Harbor #6 ]
