Now that all the hype is over...
Now that all the hype is over, all the holidays past lets talk about resolutions. New Year's Resolutions. A year ago I had a conversation or conversations and I came up with an idea that I will try again this year. I decided not to have any resolutions except one of course. I named the year 2005 the year of MODERATION. I have to say it worked. It means that I didn't say no to anything or rule out anything. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. I came up with this idea because I saw that with me and with many people there is this tug of war or see saw of life decisions where people say I won't eat this any more or I won't drink this anymore only to be met with set back after set back and followed by binge eating or drinking so I realized or I theorized that if you dont put so much pressure on yourself by depriving yourself of the normal wants and desires that come everyday then you won't have this pressure building up and eventually do more harm to your self mentally and physically. Maybe a bit dramtic but there is some sense in there some how, I promise you. So now I name the year 2006 the year of gluttony. haha. Just kidding, I name it the year of Moderation 2. How original? What can I say I'm american some of our greatest movie titles are sequels, The GodFather 2, Star Wars: Episode II, Gremlins II, Reanimator II, Rambo II, Jaws 2 uh, ok maybe not but anyway its the year of Moderation 2 which just might be an excuse not to make silly resolutions where I won't do this or eat this or drink that. blah blah blah. Its also a way to poke fun at the millions that bought excersise bikes this winter that will just become places to hang your dirty laundry. Oh by the way I just told Monika that I havent bathed this year, haha. How is that for Moderation. Maybe I'm trying to do things the European way. ;-) The pictures below are from our New Year's Party. It's my 5th year straight of having a New Year's Party and obviously my first in Europe, in Vienna, or anywhere else than New York. It was really great and we had a great time. I will put the complete photos on my website tomorrow along with the ones from Christmas. Ok Gute Nacht! Bis Morgan!

I'm with you on the Moderation Resolution. Without realizing it, I've ended up living with a diet that is one of moderation -- when a craving hits, feed it; when its satiated, move on. Next step is to apply that to the rest of my life, huh?
