Thus it begins!

I have woken up when it's still dark. The rain is pouring down outside. Winds are tearing through the trees. I have a pounding headache. I have a lot of potential excuses to go back to bed and do nothing on this first day of my new plan for self-improvement. I'm off for a walk now. I'll update this with something more later on, but I wanted to put up an opening statement of intent. Also, if the wind blows me into a river, list my cause of death as "New Year's Resolutions". :-D Per ardua ad astra, as they say in the RAF! Good luck with your New Year's resolutions, people!
