1. Follow my own advice and sometimes help people I do not like.


2. Try to be nicer to people who are not nice.


3. Be nicer to everyone by finding a shower at least once every three days.


4. Check out the UBC dental clinic at the VGH Gordon and Leslie Diamond Centre.


5. Do not be rude to elderly people collecting bottles (except that one guy).


6. Find some better alternate sleeping spots -- and one with a plug-in.


7. Improve my math skills. Really! They embarrass me.


8. Do one thing a month towards getting myself off the street.


9. Challenge my assumptions and admit my weaknesses (see #7).


10. Do a better job of proofreading my posts.

Wow. This happens every year. I'm finally getting up to speed on all things 2013 and there's an automatic upgrade coming in just a few hours.

What if it's not as good? What if it's missing features I've come to rely one? What if it takes too much of my memory? And if it's a total dog will I be able to downgrade? Ha! Not likely.

Bottom line -- same as every other year -- I'll just have to learn to like it. At least the calendar only has one upgrade a year. It could be worse -- it could be Firefox!

Hopefully this 2014 version will finally give me the ability to properly multitask, but I'm not holding my breath. Click the image to enlarge.
