With only a few days to go of the current year, it could be seen as incumbent on Fryday to undertake a review of that year; I reject that encumbrance.
“The best and worst” is done ad nauseum, and you probably find it as boring as I do. The only people who relish retrospective regurgitation are those who actually appeared in the news or those in Palmerston North,
However there were a couple of personal highpoints that I should not fail to mention: persuading the highly desirable, inevitably interesting and surprisingly indefatigable Maggie Fordham to marry me was one of them; the wedding itself was another; as was the post-wedding party spent with family and friends.
Elsewhere I look to the unwavering support of friends/colleagues in what, to put it mildly, has been a difficult job as “spokesman” for the Rodney District Council; akin to that, the superb job my friend Mitch has done in taking up the reins of the writing company.
All of which has given me the foundation for what I know will be a difficult 2007.
But, that’s next year: a few days, a trip to Matakana, a sojourn to the movies, and one or two bottles of wine away from now. I’ll worry about it when it arrives.
For now, the only encumbrance I feel upon me is one I embrace with alacrity and sincerity: and that is to wish you all that is fresh and invigorating for the balance of the holiday season, and a rich and wonderful New Year.
Next week: what the newsmakers’ New Year resolutions reveal about themselves.
