I have a long and loserly tradition of spending a morning each year, just before New Years, thinking through the past year, and formulating goals and plans for the next.

This year, looking back, it’s pretty clear 2007 has been a decidedly mixed bag.

On the excellent news side, there’s getting engaged (I love you Jess!) and opening and building a thriving CrossFit NYC gym (I don’t love you, CFNYC members, but I at least strongly like you!).

And, on the less excellent news side, there’s Cyan, where – due to both unexpected outside forces (including, primarily, someone contracting Mad Cow Disease [yes, seriously]) and inside ones (including, primarily, me being an idiot) – we basically treaded water for the entire year.

Still, in this very last week of 2007, Cyan seems to be surging ahead – we’ve had three big pieces of positive news in the past three and a half days – so I’m hopeful that I can hit the ground in 2008 running, once again, at full speed on all cylinders.

Looks like it should be a busy year.
