Sometime, about this time last year, I was monstrously depressed. I'd lost my job and had no prospects of getting another one, and so on and so forth. And lo, here it is this time of year again, and I'm going to lose this job now, and have no prospects of getting another one, and so it goes, and so it goes. I'd really like to lose a job in the spring some year, or some other time when you can go to interviews without having to worry about snow and ice and such.

But anyway, that's not the point. The point is that in this entry, I wrote that the only things I felt like I was any good at were sex and pie, and while those were both fine things, they're hardly enough to justify one's existence on. This year, I'm finding myself able to admit that the sex and pie statement is not exactly true. I'm adding to my list of things I'm good at. I seem to also be good at making beaded jewelry and at buying good gifts for people. So, from where I'm sitting, that's a 100% increase in things I'm good at from last year to this year. And that's worth something.

So tell me, children, what are you good at? Have you become good at anything new this year?
