Glad we made it to 2008 (and counting)

2007 was a pretty good year for me. Job was pretty good (not to mention my saving has gone up several folds and I can now afford many items on my wish list). Minor complaints? Of course, but I liked 2007 overall. The natural question to ask is so what are your new year resolutions?

I think like most people, I have a set of general resolutions: health comes in first, followed by harmony relationship with family/friends/colleagues, do well in research (a few journal articles, a few conference trip, new grants, etc, would not hurt), and of course material gain! More specific resolutions include:
(1) it is time to think about getting a car and driving again!
(2) learning how to swim... no more swimming at the edges;
(3) keep fit - it comes with dieting and work out;
(4) a relationship? (According to Chinese Horoscope, 2008 is a great year for romance for rabbits).

These are certainly not wishful thinking and are certainly achievable with the right effort. I am excited about 2008, I can feel a lot of positive changes are taking place this year.

I am only one more chapter short to the edited book on 3-D for Springer - very close now. Hope UCSB folks will cooperate and send it asap... It has been too long and I want to move on with my life!
